    Graham, Since you are going to wear a charcoal gray jacket with the kilt I would suggest a plain tie matched as close as possible to the red or maroon stripe in the tartan. Adds a little color and will pull the eye to the matching stripe in the kilt. Just my penny thought!

    By the way, that is a nice looking kilt. Have a fun night out and tip one for me. Will you be dancing? :-D

    I agree with ByDand: I think a maroon tie would look good. I must confess that on my monitor, your kilt appears to be black w/ a fine maroon stripe.

    Yeah a Red Tie would be Sharp.

    I always Like the small things to tie up, Like even Red flashes would be a cool thing as well.

    I think matching the red in the kilt is the way to go. Also I would avoid a "glossy" looking tie.

    Also would go with a red tie. Would pull some of the colour out of the kilt.

    Graham.

    Another vote for the maroon (red) tie. Why, because it would accent the red in the tartan, without being overwhelming.

    I agree a maroon tie would look good with that kilt, but Graham said the event is formal.

    Maroon and worse, red, takes away from the formality.
