Kilt voted world's favourite traditional item of clothing

Scotland's kilt has been confirmed as the most popular traditional garment in the world.

In a poll of international traditional clothing, 67 per cent of respondents put the kilt in top position, with many women describing it as "very attractive" on a man.



The Japanese kimono came second in the international attire list, while the Hawaiian grass skirt was third.

The survey of 2,034 people also found the Mexican sombrero was popular. However, German lederhosen was considered "very unfashionable" by 87 per cent of people. As many as 24 per cent thought the shell suit best represented England's national dress.

I like kilts on men.  But preferably in the "down" position.
