Kilt with Rugby Jersey?

[Dirk Skene]

Panache ole' buddy, it's good to see your face! I would probaly not wear stripes with a tartan, unless I was going to a game then I'd show my team spirit and the heck with anybody else. But it does work better than checks. I made that mistake ....... ONCE

My first impression wasn't the patterns clash. My first impression was how uncasual it looked. I first thought it was because the shirt was tucked in so neatly but it may be just the hose and the shoes.

Try different socks and casual shoes and maybe untuck the shirt and look comfortable not stiff and formal.

Casual means comfort so don't worry so mutch about color match or pattern match. If it doesn't scream ugly when you put it on it is ok.

Just my opinion.

BTW My father has been known to say "It goes together if you put it together. He clashed a lot.

I am not sure about the horizontal stripes with the plaid though. Try and find a more simple looking rugby shirt, or a National team jersey, they usually go better than the rugby shirts we can all usuaually get at old navy (though they have some nice plain ones right now.

I also wear boots with the hose pushed down when I am wearing a rugby shirt (sometimes even untucked).

Knowing you personally, I think that the hose and shoes works with YOU...and the outift. With me, for example, it would look odd. I might have picked a darker shirt....Hmmm. Not sure from the photo.

Here's a recommendation...try Big 5 Sports for some inexpensive black work boots. You can find, reasonably often, big, chunky black boots for ..*ahem*..cheap there. I just picked up a pair that fits just fine for $24. They'll last me a year or 18 months of 2-4 days/week wear..

I'm not sure if the "casual-booted" style is really YOU, actually, but at least you can try it for a few bucks. You are one of the few people I can honestly say that the word and appearrance of "gentleman" truly fits....*grin*... you are much better "gentleman" than "ruffian", so stick with what works.



Now, whether that's a compliment or not, I'm not sure!

I unfortunately don't know any X-markers personally. However, I'd tend to agree that Panache seems most at home in pictures that feature a slighlty more dressy style of clothing.
However, I do recall him in a pic wearing boots with a solid green Sportkilt? and thought he looked well put together.

Sadly, no matter how I dress I still the same quirky fellow on the inside! Just don't tell anyone

I can't judge the colors...some kind of "mother of pearl" glare :confused:

HEY! check out the formal jacket! Looks fantastic!

I've worn both Scotland, and NZ rugby jerseys with my kilt. Both jerseys are solid color. I wore the NZ with Hose up and flashes, and I wore the Scot jersey hose down with boots. Both worked well in my opinion. Anyway, you know what you're doing. Just go with your gut, and what your wife says.
