One of the things that I like about the kilt suit is that you can wear the various elements of it separately to create multiple outfits. For instance, the kilt suit that I have, I often wear just the kilt itself causally with a polo shirt or regular button-up shirt. And I specifically chose that tweed pattern because it would look good with many of my other kilts, so I wear the jacket or jacket & vest with my other kilts frequently.




Now those two pictures demostrate precisely the "essential contrast" between tartan and,in this case, a wonderful tweed jacket and waistcoat that I personally require.This effect cannot be obtained with a tweed kilt suit.I respect totally,however, that others may have other ideas on the look that they are trying to acheive.
