What to wear with black UK Survival?

[Rigged]

I've always thought that kilt hose looks a bit odd with Utilikilts. I'd wear some nice black dress hose, black dress shoes and a nice shirt and tie.

If you want to go with kilt hose, black hose with black flashes would be a good look with the UK, in my opinion.

Any nice dress shirt should look good with a black UK.

this is a tough one.

before anything, be sure to iron the pleats on the UK. I'm sure you've learned that they get all wrinkled and out of place failry easily.

as for the clothing?

check out the gent on the bottom right in his black UK. Might give you an idea.

there are several others on the UK site dressed formally in a black UK. Should find plenty of ideas.

Since my UK black survival has faded somewhat (neither my original or workman have) I would lose the black hose and wear the off white, or better yet find grey hose and leave the black flashes. Black (Very Dark Grey) and off white are neutral colors so any color dress shirt is fine (actually you could match flashes to the shirt if you wanted). Another good option is a tartan shirt (I have a Black Watch dress shirt that I wear with UK's quite often).

I think I'd leave the flashes off, since a UK isn't Scottish, so it doesn't need to have the flashes. I'd also be more tempted to team a black survival with black kilt hose (or just black knee socks - don't even have to have a turnover or be as thick as kilt hose - the important thing is that they come to the knee, that's all). Off-white is a bit too much of a contrast for the black survival. Maybe a gray or brown shirt to go along with it. Talk it over with your wife, with respect to the shirt combination.

Hamish gave me the following advice:

"If you must wear flashes with a Utilikilt (!) try matching the kilt colour"

I would go with the off white kilt hose, black flashes, black shoes (but not dress shoes), and a light colored shirt to tie in the hose with the black UK.

That's my advice

When I got my all black heavyweight, the kilt supplier included a pair of black flashes to match, although I only ever wear the flashes on a formal occasion.

If you have one, I sugeest wearing a fisherman sweater with your kilt. I have a black Mocker and wear my fisherman...it's one of my wife's favorite outfits for me to wear

Another option is to wear a Jacobite shirt

What is a fisherman's sweater? I usually don't like to wear sweaters as I get way too warm in them. We'll be going out to eat after and I it would be warm at Red Lobster too.

DALE.

Mine was hand made by my wife so I get extra brownie points for wearing it

I like the looks of grey hose with black flashes with a black or grey kilt. Just my preferences. I found two plain grey ties at Wal-Mart that go well with my black Argyll jacket, too.
