I believe it is appropriate for husband and wife to dress in his family tartan. My wife could not pull off the green and blue of the Colquhoun tartan but would look good in the reproduction ancient tones of the same as the tones fit her complexion. She would be quick to explain why she has on that particular attire, especially if felt she looked good in the color combination.

I hope other couples here will show photos of the husband and wife together in tartan. There are several couples that I admire and know how to individualize the look of one clan's tartan.
