Kilt and Tie

[Jock Scot]

The tie is a perfect match. Any solid-colored shirt will work great to help it "play nice" with the kilt.

While everybody else loves the black shirt, I'd probably opt for a lighter color myself. But you should work with what you have and what you like. The outfit will look super and you will get lots of compliments.

Enjoy!

Not everyone! Black shirts have a certain unpleasant connection to historical events in Europe in the 1930's and 40's and the sight of them does still raise uneasy memories, for some people. I well remember seeing German and Italian prisoners of war in their assorted uniforms and remember the tears and heartache that the prisoners and their hated uniforms that they were wearing brought to the locals with family members away at war and whilst the world has moved on, it has unfortunately not moved on for us all and in some ways, nor should it.

Apart from that, whilst black shirts are most certainly a fashion option worn in Scotland today there are those of us that, for whatever reason apart from the above, consider that they are not the best choice for showing the kilt and the wearer off to best advantage.
