A kilt is an unbifurcated traditional garment of Scottish, and by extension Celtic, culture that exists in various modern forms and forms inspired by the historical garment, including:
- the modern form of the traditional Scottish garment (further defined below);
- the historical form of this same Scottish garment (see History of the kilt);
- the Irish kilt (see Irish kilt);
- the Welsh kilt, or cilt (see Welsh Kilt and St David's Tartan);
- contemporary kilts such as the Neo-Kiltâ„¢ or Utilikiltâ„¢ (see Contemporary kilts); and
- certain types of school uniform skirts for girls (see School uniforms)Just to cite one example, Buckhead School Uniforms *, a supplier of school uniforms mainly for the private school market in the United States, offers what they call a "kilt" as part of their line of girl's uniforms. There are many, especially in the Scottish community, who do not consider the use of the term "kilt" as applied to such garments, to be entirely appropriate, believing instead that the more correct term in such cases would be kilt-skirt or kilt-styled skirt..
The modern traditional kilt is typically seen at modern-day Highland games gatherings in Scotland and elsewhere throughout the world. Historical forms of the Scottish kilt have differed in several particulars (some quite substantial) from the modern-day version. Specifically, the organizations which sanction and grade the competitions in Highland dancing and bagpiping all have rules governing acceptable attire for the competitors. These rules specify that kilts are to be worn (except that in the national dances, the female competitors will be wearing the Aboyne dress). The word kilt as used in this article refers to those garments as typically seen in such competitions.Rules of the British Columbia Pipers Association - in which "acceptable highland dress" for solo pipers and pipe bands is specified Costuming regulations of the Scottish Official Board of Highland Dancing
