Do I need to wear a sporran with the kilt?
Most people would still think that a Traditional 8 yard kilt looks right only when worn with a sporran, quite apart from the practicality it lends to a garment without pockets in giving you somewhere to carry those coins and keys.
But a Casual Kilt is quite another story, and it is entirely a matter of style. If you wish it to resemble the traditional 8 yard garment, a sporran is probably still desirable. But if you are wearing your Casual Kilt as a versatile fashion garment, then how you accessorise is a purely personal style statement. It’s cool either way!
