Keep it plain and simple and let the tartan do the talking...ya' can't go wrong that way.

I really have not problem with giving up the additional patterns (I'm not talking about multiple tartans but tattersall shirts or striped ties). I know I would be banned from the house if I tried to enter with Argyl or Diced hose for a formal look even before I tell her how much they cost. It really is all about colors, today I am wearing my new SWK Black Watch Economy with a light tan shirt and ancient green hose. As I left for work this morning she said she really liked the hose but a white shirt would look better. I am not wearing a jacket or tie. Tan and green work together don't they? I did not change the shirt, kissed her and left. I like how Matt puts an outfit together but if I tried some of the same she would never let me out of the house.
