A well made kilt is a well made kilt, regardless of how much material is used.

The more material allows more pleats, and can look somewhat dressier. But a well made kilt that had much less than 8 yard, can look just as nice. In fact the 5 yard kilt can also have just as many pleats as an 8 yard kilt, - the pleats can just be not as deep!

Much more important is the style of the kilt. Is it a traditional kilt?

The next most important item is what you wear with it. Choose your assessories with care!

I don't think many people would wear a utilikilt or X-Kilt to a formal affair.

Shop around, there are some good, less expensive kilts available.
