I never wear a tartan tie with the kilt. However, I often wear a tartan tie (Macmillan dress) with a three piece tweed suit.

I would like to purchase one for when I wear my suit as well.

I never wear one with a kilt, however when I'm in a suit they are great.
However...many are made too short and too narrow.

I can't imagine ever wearing one with a kilt, but think they look nice with a tweed suit or sportcoat.

Cordially,

My MacPherson tie was my first bit of tartan and I proudly wear it whenever I have to wear a suit.

I like tartan ties.

However if I wear one with a kilt then I wear a waistcoat to break up having the two right next to each other.

That's my thought, also. Or I'll wear two variants of the same tartan- MacLoed dress kilt and MacLoed hunting tie, for example. Also, I really like wearing tartan accessories with solid kilts. I wear MacLeod dress tie and flashes with my green Flamingo kilt.

While I don't personally own any tartan ties, I would wear one with a suit or with a blazer and pants (even though I only own 3 pairs of pants and 2 are jeans), but would not wear one with a kilt.

With my kilts, I wear solid color ties that pull out a color in the kilt. I try (if possible) to match the tie to my hose as it 'balances' the outfit top to bottom.

I do the same thing some times- forest green hose and tie really make the Colorado state tartan pop.

I think they can look pretty good with a kilt on occasion and certainly look well with a suit.
