Something modern in style and/or fabric but high like they're supposed to be.
-
Tartan front and back but the hips are doin' the carryin'.

Leading edge modern and that means non-tartan and low-rise.

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.

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.

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.

Currently, all I've got are UKs - a denim, olive mocker, and caramel workman - thanks to my wife, who bought all three (I LOVE that lady!).
