To my mind that shirt is fighting for attention with the kilt! Of course, there are no rules laid down about this sort of thing, but it just does not look good; it is all too fussy, too 'noisy'. Our kilts are glorious, wonderous garments so let them shine in their own right - don't make them fight!
Our friend is perfectly colour co-ordinated from the waist down, and then he goes and ruins it with the shirt! How much cooler and nicer he would look with a plain shirt in the same shade of lovat green as his hose and the green in his tartan.
I have a personal 'rule' which is, plain shirts with tartan kilts and patterned shirts with plain kilts (or plain with plain, but never patterned with tartan!).
As for the hat, well I am not fazed by that. I am not a 'hat person' and find that most people look odd in them anyway, whatever the style.
The foregoing is just my opinion - aren't we fortunate that we are not all stamped from the same mould?
