A kilt, a kilt. This traditional dress of highland people, which has lasted for centuries in Scotland, has always been one of the symbols of Scotland. The traditional kilt includes a black wool coat, a white shirt, a plaid skirt, wool socks, a plaid shawl with the same pattern and a hip flask with animal skin decoration tied around the waist.

The plaid pattern of Scottish skirts is also very particular. It is said that the Scottish Plaid Registration Association has recorded hundreds of different plaid patterns, some of which are named after surnames and represent different Scottish families. Black squares are called "government squares". There are also plaid patterns specially designed for members of the royal family. The noble status is noble, and the plaid pattern worn is also called "noble square". In the17th century and18th century, wars between tribes on the Scottish Plateau continued all the year round, and men on the battlefield identified themselves with the plaid patterns they wore, which was a bit like the current "military uniform".

For most Scots, kilts are very formal clothes. Now, nearly 80% of Scots have certified the Scottish skirt as the groom's wedding dress. It is also a dress choice for formal occasions. Owning a formal Scottish dress is very expensive, and the average price in a specialized tailor shop is 500- 1000. It is precisely because of its high price that it once attracted the admiration of the British upper class and became fashionable.
