Fly Plaid

Fly Plaids – The Essential Traditional Kilt Accessory

When it comes to completing a traditional Highland outfit, there’s one piece that often gets overlooked—the fly plaid. It’s not as immediately noticeable as the kilt or the jacket, sure. But once you see the full outfit put together, you realize how much of a difference it actually makes.

A flyplaid is more than just an accessory. It’s that final touch that brings a whole look together, like the missing note in a song you didn’t realize wasn’t complete. Draped over the shoulder and fastened with a brooch, it adds movement, depth, and a kind of effortless elegance. Even if you’re not typically one for extra details, it’s hard to deny how striking it looks—especially in photos.

Tartan Fly Plaid Options:

Choosing the right tartan fly plaid can feel simple at first—you match it to your kilt, right? Well, yes… mostly. Some people prefer a perfectly matched set, keeping everything aligned. Others, though, might pick a slightly different tartan or shade to stand out a little. There’s no strict rule, really. It depends on your style, your event, and honestly, just what feels right when you try it on.

Our fly plaids are crafted with attention to the little things: the weight of the fabric, the sharpness of the pleats, the richness of the tartan colors. These small choices add up in ways you might not notice immediately, but somehow, the outfit just feels more complete when the fly plaid sits right.

Why Add a Fly Plaid?

Honestly, you don’t have to wear a fly plaid. Some outfits look great without it. But if you’re aiming for that fully traditional, all-in Highland look—especially for weddings or formal events—it’s worth considering.

There’s something quietly powerful about the way it drapes and moves. It doesn’t shout for attention, but it gets it anyway. Maybe that’s why, even after hesitating at first, so many end up being glad they chose to wear one.
