The 'modern' style of kilt has been the norm since the 1880s. By contrast, tartan flashes are a fashion accessory that has become the norm in the past 30-40 years. This was driven principally by the kilt shops/hire trade and is equally prevalent in Scotland amongst many of those newer to kilt wearing.
I prefer traditional plain or striped garters and would never choose to wear tartan ones.
