Kilts for groom

smithyg17, 27 October, 2021 at 16:57 Posted on Wedding Attire 0 2

I’m getting married in June 2022 and since I’m Scottish, I will be wearing a kilt.

I am in a bit of a dilemma at the moment though.

I usually hire a kilt when I go to a wedding therefore I have never owned my own kilt.

I have seen a kilt that I like and be measured up to hire the kilt for my wedding however I do have the option to buy the kilt instead of hiring it.


I would like to buy my own kilt specially as it’s going to be for my own wedding however I don’t know if it is normal for guys to wear the same kilt attire that they wore on their own wedding to another wedding?

I don’t want to spend all that money purchasing a kilt that may or should never been worn again?


Has anyone else worn the same kilt attire for their own wedding, to someone else’s wedding?


Any advice would be great as I can’t decide on what’s best!


Thanks in advance!


Graeme

    Have you checked out the price?

    Kilt hire tends to be around £100 max, while buying one outright, especially with the rest of the outfit, tends to run well into four figures.

    If you are going to wear it to a lot of events for the rest of your life, it will be a good investment though. I have Scots friends who wear their kilts to every formal event they attend - weddings, christenings, parties, retirement dinners...and yes, to their own weddings. It's no different to a groom buying a smart suit for his wedding and rewearing that at any appropriate event. The only reason brides don't tend to do the same is because the majority of them have dresses that are too 'bridal' to be reworn elsewhere.

    Edited to add: If the kilt is your clan tartan, you're good to go. Likewise, if it's a generic one (kilts have become so popular that there are now several designs not linked to any particular clan), but if you're planning on wearing a tartan from a clan you are not part of, that might raise a few eyebrows!
