Not necessarily, a lot (I don't know if they all are) of official military kilts are pleated to stripe and that is a sort of convention for military tartans, but it's certainly not required for civilian wear. Again, it all depends on your taste.

If you are wearing a kilt as part of a uniform, you have to follow the uniform regulations. Otherwise, you're free to do as you please.

As you will find repeated often on the forum, THERE ARE NO KILT POLICE.
