This is a blog post about the history and significance of kilts. Kilts are an article of clothing worn by men in Celtic cultures, such as Scotland and Ireland. The word “kilt” comes from the Gaelic word “cílte,” which means “to cover.” In this blog post, we will explore why it might have been developed in these places and what its purpose was historically.
What do you think? Do you know anyone who wears a kilt?
The reason that men wear kilts is because it was historically what they wore to show their masculinity. Women did not traditionally wear them due to the fact that they are a garment worn by men and women would have had no need for this type of clothing piece. Men needed an article of clothing item in order to cover themselves when their plaids or skirts were removed, so they started wearing these garments made from woolen cloth called “kilts.”
As time went on, people began using kilt designs as symbols of regional identities which played into both clan affiliation and geographic location within Scotland. This helped preserve some uniqueness with each group’s occupations like weaving styles found only in one region or tartans specific for certain families.
Kilts for sale didn’t start to be worn by women until the late 1800s. This was due in part to Queen Victoria who wanted her Scottish subjects “to look like civilized persons.” The anthropologist James Frazer claimed that kilts were a symbol of male dominance and power, which is why they were traditionally only worn by men. Women started wearing them at this time when there became less domestic work because it freed up their dresses for other tasks.
In modern times, kilt styles have changed over many years but are typically made from woolen cloth with most featuring pleats on either side of the garment. However, some designs lack these pleats and instead include more vertical lines or even stripes running down the garment.
This is just a brief overview of the history and significance of kilts.
