I didn't mean to limit the descussion to "cowboy" garb. In fact, I think I should have just asked for styles of the Western US.
Bugbear, I think I know what you're talking about when you say "low cut boots". They are often called "ropers". Usually they're an 8" tall lace-up boot with a fringed piece of leather at the bottom of the laces, extending over the toe area (this is sometimes called a "kilt" or "kiltie").

These boots can work with a kilt, as they're not too terribly different than many traditional low-rise boots worn historically with the kilt in Scotland. I have a pair made by Ariat, though I've removed the "kilt" from the bottom because it curled up after many years of use and looked pretty silly.

As far as wearing "Western styles" with a kilt, I would be tempted to do it in a very mild fashion. Certainly nothing so bold as wearing a cowboy hat or cowboy boots. But perhaps a western-cut solid-colour corduroy shirt with pearl snaps, so long as it wasn't "over the top" in terms of throwing off the entire visual effect.

My wife at one point made a western-style kilt belt, using a custom-made silver buckle with a turquoise stone in it (supplied by the customer). The belt was done with Sheridan-style tooling patterns like you often see on western saddles. The end result was a very Western take on a kilt belt. Much like a regular cowboy belt, but upscaled to kilt width.
