The Solid Coloured Kilt
I've become interested in solid coloured kilts: Irish green or saffron, tweed, shadow tartan, contemporary, etc. Not quite as interested in modern kilts like UKs, AKs etc because I prefer a more traditional cut/style of kilt. FYI Matt Newsome has a great article (2006) about solid colored kilts that interested rabble ought to read, if they haven't already.
I'd like to elicit some discussion about single colour kilts:
- Do you like them? Why or why not?
- Should a solid colour or tweed kilt be worn the same or differently from a tartan kilt? If there is a difference from tartan kilts, what general stylistic or aesthetic principles can you suggest for solid colour kilting?
- I've done some visual research and am going to post a few different series of photos. Do the outfits in the photos work? Why or why not?
