I've had a Sport Kilt for a while now but I just got my sport sporran (aka fanny pack) and kilt hose the other day. Now I can actually carry stuff. Yay. It's like having pockets. Oh, and the socks make it look so much cooler.

The look is fine but I'm not sure about the colour combinations, though. Reddish jacket, green top, green & blue kilt and pink socks. Well that's what looks like on my screen. Hmmm. Not a combination I would wear. Like the kilt though.
I'm working in the opposite direction! I was given one of those narrow hats the other day. Don't know what they call them. It's black with the band being white background, red cross and the centre of the cross being dark blue. I am planning to get a kilt in the near future - I just haven't found one in the right colours and price yet!

Love the kilt, but some work has to go into the colour combination it looks odd

The kilt looks right, the socks are okay as long as you are happy with the contrast. If you're comfortable and happy, go with it, we are not talking traditional or formal here.
The cap Sinned's describing sounds like a "Glengarry"?

Meh, it's not like my first choice for a shirt, but I didn't work yesterday so it doesn't really matter XD
Also, as long as I'm dressed better than the average joe wandering around, I don't care if there's a little "clash".

I didn't really think about how much the picture distorted the color! lol I'm wearing this one:

There is much to be said for this approach. I've been known to very deliberately put clashing colours together in an outfit but usually separate them with another layer (e.g. a waistcoat). One of my favourites in that regard is my teal-green shirt, blue velvet skirt, with those two elements set off with a black waistcoat.
Sometimes, too, it's just fun to push the envelope for the simple sake of doing so.
