Looks and why they work.

[AKScott]

Major point of fashion that has been true regardless of trends:

Your belt, shoes, and sporran should match. Brown with brown - Black with black.

It's the most noticeable flaw when properly accessorizing your kilt. If you take time to match these items, it will pull the rest of your outfit together with a unifying theme. Please do so.

I respectfully disagree.

I recall my mom laying down the matching leather law for my second day of kindergarten. I had met a very cute girl the previous day and appeared at breakfast for day 2 in my favorite slacks, with my favorite shirt and my favorite tie. That would be plaid slacks, a vertically striped shirt and a paisley tie.

While it is difficult to go far wrong with matching leathers, it also shuts out many combinations that can work.

WRT the wizard's recent challenge that we provide pictures rather than mere doctrine, I submit the following. I should point out in advance today is my day off and I am still on my first cup of coffee. I cropped my face out as I still look a bit of a fright this morning. I see the yellow stripe on my front apron is off center and my garter ties are usually better length balanced than this. Likewise I see that I really do need to move my sporran strap buckle around back - I am waiting for my tank ( due any day now) to arrive before I finalize strap construction.
