    I agree, it looks fine on you. How long you wear your kilt, depends upon the purpose for the kilt. If you're wearing it for hiking, it shouldn't be touching the back of your knee, otherwise, middle to top of the knee is fine. Many "new age" kilt wearers, actually wear them too long. I think the Queen wears Her kilt so that when She's kneeling with Her back straight, the bottom hem just touches the floor, but that's not usually in a physically active situation.

    It looks good to me
    I have two kilts one long one short I wear the shorter on the most
    I like my kilt to hit at the top of the knee
    it seems to get in the way if the hem is longer as it tends to
    slip down after alot of walking

    The traditional way to determine kilt length is to kneel on the floor with the kilt on. The selvage/hem should just brush the floor.
