Kilt

Scottish skirt. It is a symbol of Scotland and its clans, which are represented by the tartan patterns with which it is manufactured. It was turned into a status symbol in 1800 when Queen Victoria and her husband Albert wore them on their holidays at Balmoral Castle. As a toga form of drape to cover the shoulders, the kilt was already in existence before the Middle Ages. Since 1600 it has been a symbol of Scotland, and entered women’s contemporary wardrobes in the 1940s. Modernized around the 1970s, it also began to be worn by Ivy League girls.
