A kilt is traditionally worn at the natural waist, which sits higher than where most pants are worn, typically around the navel. It wraps around the body with the front apron overlapping, and is secured using straps, buckles, snaps, or other fastenings depending on the style. Traditional kilts are designed to be worn at this higher position, while many modern and utility kilts are often worn lower on the hips based on preference and design. The kilt should fall to around the middle of the knee for proper fit and movement.
