A Stylish Guide for the Whole Family

Heading to Highland Games this summer? Whether you’re spectating, competing, or just soaking up the culture, it’s the perfect occasion to show off your Scottish pride and your tartan! From kilts to scarves, and even pet accessories, here’s how the whole family can dress the part with a little help from ScotlandShop.

Highland Games Dress Code for Men

Kilt Forbes Weathered Forbes Weathered Men's Kilt

The must-wear item for any Highland Games is the kilt! We offer the traditional 8 Yard 16oz Heavyweight Kilt, in over 500 tartans. Or if you are worried about the heat, our 4 Yard Kilt in our 10oz fabric is the perfect option for you, however if you are competing you may want to re-think being a 'true Scotsman', and add a pair of shorts on underneath. Don't forget to pop on your sporran, pull up your socks and straighten your flashes.

Highland Games Vertical 4 1 Tartan Bomber Jacket- Campbell Clan Weathered

Want to keep it casual? Opt for a tartan vest or even a pair of Tartan Pants with a polo shirt. Pictured above is our Tartan Bomber Jacket, which makes the perfect addition to the more casual Highland Games look. 

Fun fact: The kilt, as we know it today, evolved in the 18th century. Before that, Highland men wore the “great kilt”, a massive length of fabric wrapped around the body and belted at the waist.

Highland Games Dress Code for Women

Back Pack Skirt Tartan Mini Kilt Fraser Hunting Weathered Fraser Hunting Weathered Mini Kilt and Backpack

Many women also opt for the traditional kilt to celebrate the Highland Games. The classic kilted skirt is also a great choice for the Highland Games due to the traditional cut and length. It can be paired with a jumper or t-shirt, or even a jacket, and comes in over 500 tartans! If the kilt is not for you, a tartan dress is another great option for your Highland Games event. However, if your style is better suited to an understated pop of tartan, you can simply accessorise with a traditional tartan sash or scarf.

Tartan for the Wee Ones

Travel the world family cropped Dress your Family in Tartan

Of course a day out at a Highland Games is a family affair and in recent years there has been a great increase in children being part of the games and even competing, so of course they need their own tartan attire! We offer Boy's kilts and matching accessories, not to mention our great range of girls kilts and dresses. With the vital option to choose Polyviscose fabric, meaning the kilts can be machine washable. An absolute necessity for those muddy fields.
