Kilt with Rugby Jersey?

[Panache]

I was hoping to get some opinions here folks.

Pour1Malt often wears a mainly solid color purple rugby jersey in his photos. I liked the look and picked up one for myself. The one I found is yellow and and off white, with wide stripes. Picture bellow:



There are a couple of threads going on right now about hose and vests and using different colors and patterns with the kilt.

My question is does this outfit work with having tartan and wide stripes? The off white hose match the shirt, the yellow is in the Hunting Mcleod tartan, the shirt, and the flashes. I think it works but the lovely Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess isn't so sure.

What do you think?

Cheers

Whenever I wear a rugby jersey with my kilt, I always wear boots. Not only does it make it more causal, but also more badass ('cause we all know rugby is the most badass sport there is!)

I've got a couple of striped rugby shirts but I figured that the stripes+tartan would be too much so i've found a couple of solid color ones...no small feat! I've had to take some appliqued letters off of the blue one so that I'm not a mobile advertisement for a well known young peoples' clothing store that you find at the mall.

I must agree with Beloitpiper.....Rugby shirts and hose/flashes/shoes just doesn't quite work right. Much better with boots and rolled down hose or boot socks. Don't worry too much about matching colours, the look you are going for is casual. Having said that I'd avoid real clashes of colour.

once I get my MacTavish (Thompson Red) tank in, I'll be wearing my blue and red rugby with the kilt, provided they match well enough. Otherwise I'll wear it with my Irish Saffron.

I tend to wear my solid color Rugby Jerseys w/ my tartan kilts and my striped Rugby Jerseys w/ solid kilts. I have no problem wearing proper shoes, hose and flashes w/ either. Boots are usually worn w/ the solid kilts and striped Jerseys w/ scrunched down hose or real hiking socks. O'Neille

A rugby shirt with a kilt will always look good to the supporters of that particular team!

I must get a Wales rugby shirt in time for the next six nations (a Scotland one too except for when they are playing Wales )

Formal wear and the Rugby shirt isn't my style, in my opinion the Rugby shirt with a more relaxed look would work much better.

Panache ole' buddy, it's good to see your face! I would probaly not wear stripes with a tartan, unless I was going to a game then I'd show my team spirit and the heck with anybody else. But it does work better than checks. I made that mistake ....... ONCE
