Tartan Trews

There are always Black Watch riding breeches too.

My (Seaforth) MacKenzie trews are great but very warm. I wouldn't wear them in anything other than A/C or below 80's spring and fall weather.

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...

I have a bright red loudish tartan which I wear proudly. I wear my kilt, and I would wear trews in it if I had them and really don't care if they offend someones delicate sensibilities. Has nothing to do with getting attention. Its my tartan

I quite like the look of trews, but I'll have to say that I do prefer the more subdues tartans for that. But, that's just personal preference and to each his own.

I will get a pair one of these days.

They aren't my cup of tea But I think they look just fine in the right setting
Here we see a fellow member of the Cally at the 60th aniv dinner dance

PS the trews are Pride of Norway Tartan
