kiltlike

Kiltlike is an adjective used to describe something that resembles or is reminiscent of a kilt. A kilt is a traditional knee-length garment of Scottish origin, made of tartan cloth, and worn by men. The characteristic features of a kilt include its pleated construction, typically at the back, and its wrap-around style. Therefore, when an item of clothing or even a descriptive phrase is called "kiltlike," it implies a similarity to these features.

This might refer to the pleating of a skirt or garment, particularly if the pleats are deep or arranged in a manner reminiscent of kilt pleating. It could also describe a garment that has a wrap-around design or a somewhat unfitted silhouette that drapes. For instance, a skirt with a pleated front and a wrap closure might be described as kiltlike. In a broader sense, the term can be used metaphorically to describe something that has a similar structured or folded appearance, even if it is not clothing. The term generally conveys a visual resemblance rather than a functional or cultural one.
