There isn't anything new brought to the party here its all stuff that was previously worn by the old regiments and selected as i like to say randomly out a kids action man toy box

There are other shots on the Army site, perhaps some of the other Dress has the flair you are looking for??

Perhaps the standardisation has done this too. The variation in kit was always something to be proud of as it normally had a reason to be worn.

also remember this is now the rig for all the Scottish battalions not just the "Highland" ones.
