Is a Kilt like Khakis? Color Question

[YoungMan]

I apologize for the low quality of the picture. I haven't ironed the pleats down in far too long, I'm afraid that the ones near the side have started to pull towards the front. I think that's what you're seeing Wizard.

And, from reading the comments left by the rabble the whole wheel started turning last night. I figure I could neutralize the overall blackness of the whole affair by finding hose in roughly the same shade as the vest, a brown sporran/brown shoes. I think I could even do a light blue oxford shirt with a blue based tie if I brought in some blue flashes to highlight the right stripes in the sett. It seems to be all about breaking up the sharp contrast at the waist, and establishing a new dominate color scheme with brown and/or blue.

Hopefully, I can make enough money during the summer (grad student ) to pick up the necessary additions. My goal is make this kilt as versatile as possible until graduation and disposable income arrive.

Thanks again for all the advice.
