    Quite right Scott! With that specific shirt, the outfit is entirely too busy. I would stick with shades of solid colours, tattersals, ginghams, and checks with the kilt - but not shirts that look even remotely close to a tartan sett. I know you were experimenting, and hey, there isn't a better group to ask than the auld rabble, right?! Below are a few of my own (including a few others) examples.

    Sandy (JSFMACLJR) and I in a rather 'deep' conversation - we both are wearing tattersal/check style shirts with striped neckties.


    This photo has been posted to the forum before; Macpherson men during our annual Clan Macpherson Gathering and Rally in Badenoch - various checks and styles.


    I know, I am making an unusual face! Light blue and white tattersal shirt.


    Always a fine example, my Chief, Sir William Alan Macpherson of Cluny and Blairgowrie, TD, and Sandy Macpherson of Edinburgh at the Eilan in Newtonmore - both in shirts and neckties that compliment and contrast, but do not distract.


    Cheers,
