How to Wear a Utility Kilt in Winter

It’s easy to wear utility kilts for men during spring and summer because it’s so warm out. It’s the perfect weather for letting your legs breathe, especially if you are going to a music festival or concert. Once the temperature drops, you probably pack up your mens kilts and put them into their regular storage bins for the winter season. This might make you feel a little down or even experience a little kilt withdrawal during the cold-weather months.

The good news is: you can actually wear a utility kilt in winter! We found some easy kilt-styling tips for winter, so you can wear kilts for men all year round - no matter how cold it gets. Whether you’re into modern USA kilts or traditional Scottish kilts, here is how you can keep mens kilts in your wardrobe rotation, even in the winter.   

1.    Skinny Jeans & Pants

You’re probably used to wearing a utility kilt barelegged, especially if you own the classic Irish kilt or Scottish kilt. But, did you know you could also wear them over skinny-fit jeans and pants?

If you ever browse kilts for sale online, you might come across a few streetwear looks of men in kilts layering them over pants. It’s actually a popular urban streetwear look that works for casual occasions, like meeting friends and grabbing drinks.

2.    Leggings & Meggings

Pantyhosearen’t really an option for men, so the next best thing is leggings! Men’s leggings not only have the same skintight fit, but will also keep your legs even warmer than sheer pantyhose.

When you’re wearing leggings with cheap kilts for men, you should find leggings made in a thicker fabric that’ll keep out the cold.

For an edgy look, try matching a pair of faux leather leggings with a gothic mens kilt. If you’re going more stylish classic, go for neutral-colored leggings with insulated lining, so it’s easy to wear with plaid and tartan patterns.

3.    Knee-High Socks

We know – knee-high socks are already a traditional, Scottish kilt look, but it’s also perfect for the winter months! The only downside to wearing long socks is that small bit of skin exposure at the knees that leaves your legs open to the cold, winter air.

To avoid this, when you’re wearing knee-high socks with kilts for men, finish the look with a floor-length coat. This will guarantee that you stay warm from head to toe. In addition, choose knee-high socks that are as long and thick as possible. You can actually find knitted, over-the-knee socks online to avoid that knee exposure.

4.    Leg Warmers

If you’re going for an athletic look with your modern kilt, then leg warmers is that sporty accessory that’ll keep your outfits on point. You can easily wear leg warmers with a sport kilt or tactical kilt, as well as with any style of sneakers or boots.

The advantage of wearing leg warmers over pants and leggings is that they’re much more functional and practical for the guy on the go. You can easily pull them on and off, especially if you’re about to board a plane or workout at the gym. 

5.     Knee-High Boots

For utility kilt wearers that absolutely insist on wearing men’s kilts without anything underneath them, boots are your best bet to keep warm. You should choose boot styles that reach at the knee or higher for maximum coverage.

Just like with knee-high socks, you can pair your USA kilts for sale with a floor-length coat to keep your legs completely guarded from icy temperatures.
