His outfit is...err...one that I would not choose to wear myself

However he does provide a good example of why a tartan tie running straight into the tartan kilt isn't terribly flattering. To me it looks odd with different the sett sizes (as Tobus mentioned) running straight into each other. A muddled sort of look where neither the kilt nor the tie has any distinction from the other yet they don't blend together. A waistcoat would have helped his outfit. Actually his outfit needed quite a bit of help, but a waistcoat would have been a good start!
