Kilt trend: British do it great. From Mackintosh to McCoach

Kilt trend, fortunately there are things that never go out of fashion. The kilt trend is one of these. Halfway between a college style, an English one of course, and a rebellious punk, kilt has done a long way. With Scottish origin, it is one of those uniforms that we have learned to wear – lightly – all over the world. And at every age.

He’s wearing boots, a kilt, and a long-sleeve tee. No coat, even though it’s December. Beautiful people don’t need coats. They’ve got their auras to keep them warm.

Men originally wore it. Today women, who love to mix styles, wear it. Women with an attitude. Those who believe that fashion is a continuous return to classics assembled with care.

Kilt trend or better Samantha McCoach’s “le Kilt”

Inspired by tradition, but in step with the times. Simple in concept, but ambitious in the goal. The focus is on garments that have always existed making them desirable and coveted. Sweaters, A-line dress, jeans and kilt, simple, no?

No, for those who in XXI century decides to work with basic elements of tradition, finding their place and adding a piece. This is what le Kilt is made for. Denim is produced in collaboration with Blackhorse Lane Ateliers, a sustainable London brand.  Kilts, instead,  exploiting the unmistakable heritage of Mackintosh.

How the kilt trend has evolved

Not just kilts, but also tartans in general. In the total look by Moschino. In the abundant and decadent Vivienne Westwood‘s skirts. In the chiffon shirts by Dries Von Noten and in the checqued print by Burberry. The keyword is decomposing and surprising.

Kilt is no longer the skirt wore only by English-speaking tradition. Worn several times by Queen Elizabeth with a cachemire sweater in pastel colors. The kilt is combined with leather, amphibians, vinyl and refers to a composite imaginary. At one time it is grunge, then punk and then, if you really want, even bonton.
