Caledonia - A Tartan for the Color Blind

[rondo]

Once I adopted the position that the tartan/kilt is nuetral [like blue jeans] it became much easier to put together nice combinations. I still like my leathers to coordinate some but I have also started doing brown/black accesories etc. Other than small, simple patterns [tattersal] I avoid complex paterns on shirt/hose.

There have been times when putting things together my wife has said "you're going to wear those?...together?" but in the end even she has admitted that the combos have worked. The most striking example was going red t-shirt/red hose with Spirit of Scotland kilt, black balmoral/red torrie, black boots/belt. Sounds horrifically loud but very easy to get used to.

The easiest kilt I have that seems to go with anything is my Holyrood...really the blue jean of the tartan world IMHO. YMMV.
