The second is closer to a kilt while the first one is definitely a skirt IMO. That guy in the top pic looks like a lady at first glance and indeed second (alright a not a good looking one)

I think they have a ways to go yet before I order one. A crisp defined pleat at least rather than a saggy baggy wrinkled one like in the bottom picture. It isn't my taste not being traditional, but I am the first to admit some UK etc have a kilt look, which is sharp and clean cut, this looks sloppy and cheap.
