    Probably safer to go for a subdued tartan such as Black Watch. IMHO loud tartan trousers look ridiculous and suggest the wearer is an attention seeker who doesn't have the balls to wear a kilt. Not wanting to sound controversial. That's just my personal opinion as a regular wearer of subdued kilts and occasional wearer of loud kilts, so if anybody chooses to wear garish tartan trousers it is not my place to approach them and criticise them for their choice of clothing. I just think a black kilt and hose looks a lot more appropriate in the workplace than bright red checked trousers.

    I think that's a pretty unfair comment to make about someone. I know several individuals who have "loud" tartans and wear both trews and kilts. Personally, I can see some "loud" tartan trews with formal wear looking natty.

    Different horses for courses...
