Monochrome, a style that truely lacks any real substance, Scottish or otherwise.
One of my favorite quotes from the old "Scottish Clans and Their Tartans" is "... deprive the garb of its ornaments or reduce it to the drab monotony of Anglo-Saxon evening clothes are un-Scottish and*contemptible".
Multiple colours, the glint of shinny metal, textures of fur, hair or leather.
These are the things that set the Highland dress apart. It's best kept that way.
