    I need help picking a tartan.

    I want another mini-kilt!!! I can't decide on a tartan. I want a versatile tartan. I want something bright...nothing muted or weathered. I want something that will go with both casual shirts and dressy shirts. Anyone have any suggestions?

    From what little I have seen of you, with your dark hair and eyes, style of makeup, etc, I'd say go with a tartan with heavy purples.

    It would be most flattering.

    How about the Leatherneck Tartan? Bright red, blue, green and gold.

    Continuing Dreads thought; Isle of Skye is a rockin' tartan.

    I' vote for that too. If you want something bright, go with Buchanan modern... very nice...

    I do like purple.....

    I've thought about the Isle of sky. I don't know that it would go with a black party shirt though.

    It would help if we knew what material and/or company you are planning to go with. The tartan selection differs from vendor to vendor, especially in materials like Polyviscose or poly cotton.

    Maybe Sportkilt. I was very pleased with the mini-kilt I got from them.
