    You're probably ahead of me, but I was thinking you might consider a white shirt to see how it looks.

    The black shirt just seems a tad severe for a holiday occasion...and seems to overpower the beautiful tartan. A white shirt may put more focus on the kilt and tartan colors.

    Actually, I don't own a plain white dress shirt. What I do have is a blue one that purple hints in it, a dark red one that does neat things depending how the light hits it, and a made to measure shirt that has a blue checked pattern to it. All are nice shirts, but won't work with the kilt.. trust me. Also, if I was wearing a white shirt I would have to wear white/cream hose(to avoid looking bottom heavy), which I'm trying to stay away from.

    I think I'll stick with the black shirt.

    R L,

    I like the outfit. I would suggest adding a green tie to link it all together (plus it woulkd look really smart).

    Cheers

    I think you look great, the black shirt looks good with your kilt. There is some black in every tartan. You are right, the greens are hard to match.

    I think you look fine, and considering the general level of dress of the other participants, you look like you will be appropriately dressed.

    It does seem to me that the kilt, even if worn with the same style accessories, just seems a bit more dressy than trousers, but that's a good thing/

    I was also thinking about a green tie. Maybe I'll take my flashes with me when have to go out and try to find one.

    Actually the Grant tartan doesn't have any black in it, but I figure since all of my accessories are black, the shirt would be ok.

    Thanks for your compliments everyone.

    I like it exactly as it is. The black shirt looks cool IMHO.

    It's hard to tell in the picture, but my hose are actually green. But yes, Black hose would indeed look good.
