    Need a shirt

    New Year's eve, my girl and I are going out to dinner at a semi-local pub - Aberdeen, NC, for the curious. I plan on wearing my ebay BW kilt with black hose, black Dr. Marten shoes model 1461, a black sporran, black belt with subdued buckle. Yeah, that's a lot of black - going to be glowing in the dark around my knees. It's been a bit chilly here lately and I'm thinking about wearing a sweater, but I also over heat fast if the temps aren't low enough - I'm wearing shorts during the days and it's 45 F. I guess I'm looking for either a light sweater or a long sleeve shirt, but I don't know the color. Should it be solid? Taking m' lass shopping on Sunday, but I'd like to have some previous ideas.

    Try Marshalls. They even have tux shirts. You can find all kinds of great clothing there.

    I wear solids.

    You might try Target, if there's one near you. They've been carrying the Merona shirts with French cuffs of late, and those shirts look good with kilts.

    Last I saw they had solid white, solid black, a dark solid blue, and a dark solid green.

    A tartan shirt. Have seen some shirts in black Stewart tartan. Probably easier to find a Black Watch tartan shirt. Or, if you wanna offset the black a red Stewart tartan shirt.

    I would go with a grey sweater and a tan button-up shirt.

    I would go with a solid shirt.
    You could wear white, off white, or blue, for example, the only colour I would say stay away from is green, with the Black Watch its just too much green, otherwise you should be fine with any colour you decide, would you post a picture when get the shirt,
    it would be nice to see the outfit.

    Any coloured shirt (even black) would go with your outfit as described. Pick out a long-sleeved shirt that you like, and you could role up the sleeves if things got really hot. Since it's a pub, I'd stay away from wearing a tuxedo shirt... button down collar is my preference.

    Forget the shirt. Paint your chest blue. Sure to gain attention.
    Still, out, standing in my field.
    Never do anything that you would not want to explain to the paramedics.
