    I don't think red paisley goes with ANYTHING. So go ahead and wear it!

    I suppose it depends on the look you're trying to achieve. It appears that you are going for some type of hybrid period look.

    I'm not a huge fan of silk material. I prefer to go for matte.

    This cotton red vest is a good example what I'd wear with that beautiful Wallace kilt.

    Not my preference

    Sorry, mate, but I don't care fore the look, but that's just me. IMHO, there's too much red....best to use a vest that is not red but, yet, complements the kilt.

    Female Perspective

    - UNTUCK the vest (that's just wrong)
    - The satin should only be worn for an evening event. So if it's for an evening event great, otherwise no to satin during the day.
    -The belt buckle & Red Satin is too much bling (less is more) so change the buckle. Or as others suggested forget the belt altogether under the UNtucked vest.
    - If possible change to a sporran strap rather than hangers, it's just looks better overall.
    Otherwise I quite like the red vest & Wallace kilt.

    The vest does not look paisley to me. Paisley is usually multi-colored. This looks more matte-on-shiny, probably silk damask or silk jacquard.

    I have been researching Wallace, since that's my husband's grandmother's name.

    BTW, I love your warrior hair.

    Yes, that look seems to work well.
    Especially for Christmas.
