What was the name of the previous skirt in England?

Scottish plaid skirt originated from an ancient costume called "Chirt". This is a short skirt from waist to knee, made of tweed with continuous large squares on the cloth.

A suit of Scottish national costume includes a knee-length plaid skirt, a matching vest and tweed coat, and a pair of long tube knitted thick socks. The skirt is tied with a wide belt, and there is a big wallet hanging under it, hanging in the center of the front of the tweed skirt. Sometimes I put a tweed blanket on my shoulder and clip it on my left shoulder.

Historical folklore

The history of short skirts can be traced back to16th century. The word "Kilt" comes from Scandinavian Guskane, which means clothes that are folded and wrapped around the body. At first, it was the costume of Highlanders in Scotland. At first, it was an uncut cloth, which was more than 1.5 meters wide and 6 meters long. It was folded on the body and fixed at the waist with a belt. In order to cope with the rainy and cold climate, there is also the practice of soaking cloth in goose oil to achieve waterproof effect.

This kind of clothing is very suitable for the climate and terrain in the highlands. The lower body looks like a short skirt, which is more comfortable than trousers and moves freely; The upper body can be used as a cloak to keep out the cold, and the belt is a blanket.

Only when it is made of pure wool can the plaid skirt made by hand in Scotland be called "Scottish plaid skirt".
