I agree with tulloch, matching tartan ties work for me when there is something between the kilt and the tie that gives a visual break between the two.



My general rule of thumb is, no more than one matching tartan item with your kilt. So matching tartan flashes are fine, or a matching tartan tie is fine, or a matching tartan flatcap is fine (somewhere in the Highlands of Scotland Jock Scot keels over) but more than one of them and you begin (in my opinion) to look like "TARTAN MAN"
