We also have the advantage, sometimes, of family input too.The end result is that we have an in depth knowledge of knowing what we can get away with and what we can't.

Even today when I see some one wearing the kilt at an event I find myself saying to myself, humm yes that outfit works, or, humm those such and such don't quite work. I think we kilt wearing Scots are lucky to be able to see before our very eyes all sorts of colour combinations and that is a natural advantage for us. However the Internet is helping to do the same thing, although I don't think I have ever spent a second discussing the finer points of a tie, hose, shoes, shirt, tartan hue before, like we do here!
Quite right Jock-I concur!
