A kilt is a traditional garment, often associated with Scottish culture, typically made of woolen cloth in a tartan pattern. It is knee-length and pleated, worn by men as part of formal or ceremonial attire. Kilts are usually worn with accessories like sporrans, hose, and belts. Historically, they were designed for practicality and ease of movement, especially for outdoor activities.

A skirt, on the other hand, is a more general term for a piece of clothing that covers the lower part of the body, extending from the waist to varying lengths. Skirts can be worn by both men and women, though they are more commonly associated with women’s fashion. Skirts come in a wide range of styles, lengths, and fabrics, and are considered more versatile than kilts in terms of everyday wear.

While both garments share some similarities in shape, the kilt has a more specific cultural context and a distinctive style rooted in Scottish tradition, while the skirt is a broader fashion item.
