difference between a kilt and a skirt
â¢ The kilt is a type of skirt that is worn by men, usually of Scottish origin. â¢ The skirt is a general type of clothing that covers the upper legs. â¢ There is really not much of a difference between the kilt and the skirt in terms of appearance. But, remember, the kilt is strictly knee-length; the skirt may be as high as several inches above the knee to just along the ankles. â¢ When it comes to material and pattern, skirt can be of any pattern or any material.
