Article: "Rebel army – The latest kilt trends and ideas"

[Tomo]

I think the old mantra of wear something you feel comfortable with and look you can carry-off prevails.

Personally I think most of the styles shown are a little too trendy, but fashions change (even with THCD) and in my view rouche ties are an abomination and the preserve of footballers (if that's the look you want wear a cravat - although perhaps not with a kilt).

Having said that, there are perhaps elements that could be borrowed to create an individual look. The cookie-cutter approach to THCD can lend itself to too much of a uniform and impersonal look, it's the personal touches that make all the difference. I quite like the idea of the monochromatic look, but don't think the examples given are that great.

For me something in a tweed would look miles better. I think the attached Harris Tweed ensemble looks much better if you want a more contemporary look. Certainly in terms of the kilt, jacket and vest combo - although the sporran is awful and completely the wrong look here and I would ditch the bow-tie (too professorial for my liking) and go with a regular tie instead.
