I have traced my mothers lineage to Newcastle which is located in Northumberland. I am considering getting the Northumberland Tartan, but I am having doubts.

My concern is what do I wear with this tartan? Other than a black or white shirt or hose or wearing it to a formal occasion, it seems like this tartan is a hard one to wear on a regular basis.

Give me your thoughts and suggestions before I decide to purchase one. If I don't purchase the Northumberland Tartan, I may go with the Newcastle or the Tyneside Scottish.
