Where to where a kilt.

In these days of low-rise hipsters, it's a bit of a surprise to realize that a kilt is supposed to sit high on the waist. Even many non-traditionals, although there are modern kilts which are "low-rise".

So what's everyone's preference and why? And how did you adjust to the traditional waist?

I like the high rise on kilt. Right up to me ribs is the best place.

Works like a back brace and makes me feel so much better when I wear it. Lot less pain.

Low rise kilts is nae a good idear. Plumbers crack is nae something we need in the kilted side of life.

I wear mine up high as well, it helps hide the expanding middle universe!

Yep, I wear mine high as well. Even when I order casuals from USAK, I have the length set so I can wear it across my belly.

It rather depends upon where I am and what I am doing! About half of my kilts are 'traditional' in tartan and with the rise, whilst the other half are a good mix of contemporary hipster style and the absolutely casual styles in anything but tartan.

Depends on which kilt I'm wearing.

Mostly 5 yard traditional style tartan kilts.

Not a place for a traditional box pleat!!! (What I make and wear)

I wear my kilts just above my navel. When I finally get the money to order a professionally made kilt, that's where it will ride. Even in trousers, I don't believe in plumber's crack.
