I always thought it to be a good idea to match all leathers and all metals. That is: belt, sporran and shoes of the same color and rings, cufflinks, watches all of the same metal.

I agree with leathers to a point. If the leathers can be seen and can be changed, then they should match. Kilt straps tend to be black and can't be changed, but I'd still wear a brown belt/sporran/shoes.

Metals, though, I won't match. I prefer silver, and most things will be in that, but the mounting on my eyeglasses is gold, and the only tie bar I have is gold, too. If I wore gold coloured, my wedding band is still silver, and I prefer silver-coloured watches. If they mix, I think they compliment each other.
