    Re: Pullover sweater vests

    Uh oh, I'm not a tradtionalist, so take this with a few pinches of salt. I wear sweaters with kilts often. Here are my usual stand by's:

    -V-neck solid sweater in complimentary color, white button down dress shirt,with or without tie.

    -Turtleneck solid color sweater with tweed Braemar jacket

    -"Commando" style crew neck sweater, solid color (usually black) with dress shirt under it

    -"Commando" style V-neck sweater solid color (again usually black in my case) with dress shirt under it.

    -V-neck sweater vest, solid complimentary color with white dress shirt, with or without coordinating tie.

    I enjoy wearing sweaters for a more than casual look, but not as "pipe band looking" as just wearing a black vest.

    Re: Pullover sweater vests

    I think sweaters and sweater vests work great with a tweed jacket





    Solid colored ones are a safe bet, if you go with a pattern then you are taking a risk. I happen to like this striped one with my Isle of Skye tartan kilt





    Some think it works and others hate it. I happen to think it is extremely comfortable

    Hope this was of help!



    Cheers

    I, like Pete, am a big fan of the "commando" or "wooly pully" style sweater and think they are very smart with the kilt. They are a great asset to the kilt wearer's wardrobe as they can easily be dressed up or down and make a nice alternative to a jacket. However I wouldn't wear one with a jacket.

    I find the crew necks to be more casual and the V necks more formal
