The Scottish kilt is usually worn with kilt hose (woollen socks), turned down at the knee, often with garter flashes, and a sporran (Gaelic for "purse": a type of pouch), which hangs around the waist from a chain or leather strap. This may be plain or embossed leather, or decorated with sealskin, fur, or polished metal plating.
Other common accessories, depending on the formality of the context, include
* belt (usually with embossed buckle)
* jacket (of various traditional designs)
* sgian dubh (Gaelic: "black knife": a small sheathed knife worn in the top of the right hose)
* Ghillie brogues
