    No, Rex has a good point; the whole outfit doesn't need to be the same color while matching one of the main colors of the kilt. The sporran and it's strap don't have to be the same shade of brown as the shoes. My kilt belt is a very close color to the leather shoes I have for this outfit, but the shoes have a lot more shine to them and would never "match," and the sporran has a bit more red in it than either from what I understand. It's a corduroy jacket and unless I had the same corduroy made into hose, the two materials could never really "match." If you were matching all of those, it really would be trying too hard.

    I think the line is at trying to wear things like black shoes and brown belt or even a brown belt with a black shirt. That tends to clash especially if I am wearing them.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
