What is the best length for a kilt?

The best length for a kilt is one that falls to the middle of the kneecap when standing upright. This is the traditional and most flattering length, maintaining both style and function.

To measure it accurately, start from your natural waist (around the navel) down to the centre of your knee. Too short, and it looks awkward; too long, and it loses its classic shape and swing. A professionally fitted kilt will hang just right — and if yours doesn’t, we offer alteration services to get the perfect length.
