Traditional to go for your name or a family name.

My dad found one for our name, our clan name and our ancestors clan name....

Mind you, grey is awesome!

I like a more casual look. I own a five-yard kilt (rather than the heavier eight-yard) in Spirit of Scotland tartan, and tend to wear it with a ghillie shirt and Jacobean waistcoat rather than formal shirt, waistcoat and jacket.

Just make sure your kilt is measured properly. Nothing worse than a kilt that is too long/short. Traditional is nice, but some of the newer tartans matched with grey are lovely too.

Just a background character

To be fair a lot of the clan designs aren't really that nice, so a trendy modern interpretation - grey whatever - is a good way to go sometimes.

Yeah, my clan design is a clash of colours that do not fit well, and certainly wouldn't suit my skin tone.

When I bought my kilt, I initially wanted Highland Sky, which is gorgeous, but it's classed as a speciality tartan, and would have added five hundred quid to the price, which I couldn't afford at the time. Spirit of Scotland is nice enough too though.

Buchanan has to be one of the worst. But to be fair tartan associated to a name is quite a modern thing.

Plain black kilt with grey jackets white shirt and black white sporran looks fab...white socks and nice brogues

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Seen a cracker on line today, grey kind of checked with thistles through it, looks great.
