Tie Colors/Pattern for kilts

[MacWage]

Due to my other line of work, I have a number of ties.

Then not kilted, I OFTEN wear a tartan tie.

When kilted, I am just "building up" enough jackets for a tie and jacket combo. So, I haven't worn ties much, as of yet.

BUT, my thoughts:
Generally, a tie in a tone that matches one in the kilt or black would be best.
This is the ONLY time I have worn a tartan tie with a kilt:

As it was a "Kirking of the Tartans" I tried the combo. I've seen similar in numerous jacket ads on sites. It doesn't look THAT bad. Actually, I had a black one in the car! In the future, I would ONLY wear one that matched the kilt.

Generally, I like simple and clean lines to my clothing. So, simple and solid ties are favorable, but VERY hard to find right now, as all the stores around me carry patterned ties of some sort.
