Looks and why they work.

[CMcG]

Major point of fashion that has been true regardless of trends:

Your belt, shoes, and sporran should match. Brown with brown - Black with black.

It's the most noticeable flaw when properly accessorizing your kilt. If you take time to match these items, it will pull the rest of your outfit together with a unifying theme. Please do so.

Let's qualify this a bit, because matching leathers is a not universally true sartorial point.

In traditional Highland civilian dress, for example, mixing of leathers is quite common. Furthermore, part of a rebel modern kilt look is a "devil may care" attitude, which ironically can also include not bothering to match stuff.

Kilt wearing that adheres to a more contemporary North American aesthetic might look more unified with matching leathers... and colour coordinated everything else while you're at it
