My own thoughts about red hose are that they look the best with tartans with only a little red in them. For instance, Campbell of Cawdor, or MacKenzie, or Hunting Robertson, or Murray of Atholl. They help to bring out that color and add a bit of brightness to the outfit.
The Duke of Argyle even wears red hose with the Campbell (Black Watch) tartan, which has no red in it whatsoever.
It's a bit tougher to wear red hose with a tartan that is primarily red. I'm not saying it cannot be done, but it is easier to make it look bad, in my opinion. I think that Ron's outfit here looks just fine.
I would NOT add a red shirt. A nice kakhi color shirt, I think, would look perfect. You need a nice muted nuetral color to balance it all out.
I'm interested in what Hamish might have to say...
Aye,
Matt
