    My vote would be for the black, there is some black in every tartan. The greens are very hard to match, there are blue greens and yellow greens, they don't go together very well.

    BTW, great looking outfit.

    I think what folks have suggested will look good...

    Here's my 2 cents:
    I would get a tan/Khaki colored shirt and matching hose. I think the earthy light tones will compliment the kilt while letting the kilt be the focus.

    Cheers

    Even if you get a perfect match with a green shirt most people are going to think, "Christmas" with that much red in the kilt. The black sounds good.

    Thanks. I'm thinking I might post more of them (in another thread of course).

    I finally decided that if I'm gonna have this addiction I might as well buy one of every color shirt I can find. Then I can figure out the match by holding the shirts to the tartan I'm gonna wear.

    There's an ease and peace in such quantity...

    First of all...I'd suggest the black (bear in mind, however, that I always wear a black shirt every day...and, no, I'm not a priest or a minister...it's a long story) but I'd consider a tan or khaki shirt as a possibility...they're both relatively neutral and could set off the green hose well enough.

    Second...is that your wedding picture? You both look SO young. Guid on ye and enjoy these days...it's great to be young and a couple.

    Best
