Hey Moose,

You're in that transition stage...takes some sorting out of what works and what doesn't. The good part is there are some nice surprises...like who ever dreamed jean jackets and WWII replica military jackets went well with tartan kilts, or that Hawaiian shirts and Pendleton vests COULD work with solid kilts.

For me the secret was looking at all the pictures I could find of other guys wearing kilts. The pictures forum here, all the galleries on the kiltmaker's websites, all the personal galleries you can find.

If you wanna spend the ink you can also print out the pics of ideas you like as a reminder.

Not only will you find some ideas that will work for various types of garments, you'll also find color combinations that work that you'd not have thought of on your own.

Certainly there's the historic, traditional way to dress with the tartan kilt.
But there are also fun ways to dress casually, and for work in tartan and solid kilts. A lot of the fun of kilting is in finding and experimenting with looks.

Enjoy the process.

Ron
