Good day rabble!

I am looking for recommendations around suitable colours and do's and dont's around colour use please and thank you. My kilt is comprised of bright blues, mid-greens, yellow and black colours. It is quite bright. Attached is a photo of my son's kilt being made (I included it because it shows up brightly in the photo like mine does in sunlight.

Specifically, I am looking for recommendations on the colours of:
  • Shirt
  • Tie
  • Hose
  • Jackets/Vests
  • Any other items that you think might colourize well with it


I admit to being a bit gun-shy because it can be a bright kilt colour wise. Thus far I have stuck with cream and black hose and a black Argyle Coat and 5 button vest. I also have worn either a white or black long-sleeved dress shirt. I also wear a black tie usually. I have black ghillie brogues as well as a black glengarry (piper after all).

Please share with me your thoughts on colours that would be a good fit to enhance the kilt and my style.

The second picture I have included is of my son and I with me wearing my kilt after a formal event. Just ignore the fly plaid...I hastily threw it back on for the photo at the request of the photographer. ;) Being a night-time photo, the colour is quite subued, hence why I included the first image.

Thank you Rabble!
