A Modern-Day Duke in Scabal: His Grace the Duke of Argyll

[Riverkilt]

I've been known to own and wear pink shirts back when I owned and wore suits. Don't own any pink shirts or suits anymore.

Pondering the questions I think the pink hose somehow make the rest of the outfit look "top heavy"...its a proportion thing as well as a color thing...

Sort of like a tree being chopped down....

I'm not so sure that's due to the pink on the bottom... If you look at how the outfit is all faded, worn, and ancient on the bottom, then crisp, clean, sharp, and new on top...
If instead of the antique sporran (which I love so very very much) he were wearing a sharp, black leather one, I think that the top-heavy issue would disappear entirely.

Or if he were wearing tweed instead of the crisp merino.

The hose work with the Dukes Tartan [imho] because the intensity of the 'dusty pink' and the intensity of the light green are roughly the same. Further, when we start to think of the kilt as a neutral, disregarding the tartan aspect, and ask if the hose tone well with the rest of the outfit we notice that the intensity of the hose works well with the intensity of the light charcoal grey jacket. Again, just my opinions.
