A Study Of Scottish Kilt Clothing

The Scottish Kilt has become an indispensable element of fashion design in the world,that does have its unique charm.It carries the culture of Celtic ancestors,the history of highland areas,and the inheritance of clan customs.Now it leads the trend in various major clothing brands and radiates a never fading luster.Through literature research and comparative research methods,this paper compares all kinds of clothing styles in the process of highland clothing evolution,and then through the sociological research method of symbolic interaction theory,conducts in-depth research on Kilt clothing and its characteristics.As a necessary piece of clothing for warriors' and mercenaries to travel,the early girdle Plaid was labeled rebellion after King James' ?&? Party turmoil.The promulgation of the order of prohibition and the evolution of highland clothing militarization made the girdle Plaid disappear from the stage of history,and the short walking skirt immediately appeared and became the early prototype of modern kilt.The influence of military style and the requirements of military norms restrict the way the modern kilt is worn,and encourage the Scots' patriotic feelings and national identity.The Kilt is not only a common highland men's dress,but also a symbol of the revival of highland culture and the union of lowland people and highland people under the ancient tradition.It also records the yearning and pursuit of the British royal family and the British upper class for highland customs and Celtic culture.It is a link between the members of the highland society.It is also the heroic resistance of highland people in the battle of Culloden;a monument to the indomitable spirit of the enemy.In modern times,the darling of modern fashion designers was made into a delicate Plaid mini skirt,which was biased towards women's style,which was far from the thicker style made of early coarse wool.This change led to the fuzzy gender attribute of modern kilt,and the dress code of Kilt was redefined,which was no longer the exclusive of men.In modern times,it has become the exclusive darling of women's clothing,which is far from the large style made of coarse wool worn by Highland warrior class.This change has led to the ambiguity of gender attribute of modern kilt,and the dress code of Kilt has been redefined.In the high-end clothing,Kilt elements are used flexibly,which is the collision between modern fashion design and traditional national elements.The Kilt redefines the design under the designer's hands,and is inherited as a more vigorous and never withering clothing.Nowadays,most of our fashion design is western design aesthetics and ideas.From the inheritance of the Kilt,we can learn from its design language and use it to integrate our national elements and broad cultural background into modern fashion.How to make more combination of modern dress design and traditional dress culture,and how to let people begin to accept modern dress with traditional culture are worthy of attention and research.
