From what is worn underneath a kilt to where the popular garment originated - here's everything you need to know. 1 Bagpipe players pictured wearing matching tartan kilts Credit: Getty Traditionally, men wouldn't wear anything under a kilt - and many still don't. In 2016, YouGov asked 315 men what they wore under their kilt. The survey found that 55% of men said they wore underwear and 38% admitted to wearing nothing. Whereas 7% said they wore shorts or something else. The survey also found that younger and older Scots are much less likely to wear nothing under their kilt with 21% saying they would go regimental compared to 45% of men aged 25 to 64 opting for the 'true Scotsman' option. An excellent example of when underwear is always worn is during the Highland Games - where the athletes will wear shorts under their kilts. Scottish country dancers are also required to wear shorts when competing. And it's not just sports where wearing underwear or shorts underneath a kilt is required. Almost all kilt rental companies ask their customers to wear underwear with the kilt. Where did the kilt originate? The history of the kilt stretches back to at least the end of the 16th century. Since the 19th century, the kilt has become associated with the wider Scottish and Gaelic cultures and is often made of a woollen cloth in a tartan pattern. Like most items of clothing, the kilt has undergone a process of evolution over time. At the end of the 16th century, the kilt first appeared as the belted plaid or great kilt. This was a full-length garment, in which the upper half could be worn as a cloak draped over the shoulder or brought over the head as a hood. The kilt many are familiar with today closely resembles the small kilt or walking kilt, which did not develop until the late 17th or early 18th century.
