Does a red paisley vest go with a wallace kilt?

[RectaPete]

I like it.

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.

interesting look. Not sure If I would wear it, but looks like you can pull it off.

BTW... I love the Hee Haw clock!

- 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.

With a kilt with that much red in it, I myself wouldn't wear a red vest, or socks. There's enough red in the kilt already.

An unpleasant colour-shift thing can happen when two colours aren't quite the same, like a navy blue suit where the pants and jacket are two different shades of navy blue. It's more jarring when various hues of red, orange, yellow, or purple are involved.

Also, I've never been a fan of Paisley in general, and with Highland Dress in particular. Or polka dots, or zigzags, or pretty much any strong pattern.

I could see a black fabric with a subtle black-on-black pattern (paisley or otherwise) working fine with that kilt.

As a general rule, I would not be the guy to ask. I just do not care for paisley designs. But in the photo, I really do not notice the design. So, I think it is fine.

Happy holidays.

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.

I concur about untucking the vest. I'd also like to see what it'd look like with a black shirt, black hose and red flashes. I personally look terrible in red since I am so red myself, but often use is as an accoutrement, and think you could do the same in balancing the red with more black.

My second thought is, if you like it, do it - I'm a big proponent of "whatever makes you happy" ( I often run races kilted, and wear my kilts with sandals in the summer), BUT, since you asked for opinions, you got one. 😁

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