Hose Color with a Dress Tartan and Prince Charlie

[Friday]

The rental aspects of tartan flashes apart, the main thing wrong with them is that they are all too long - far, far too long.

Why? What is this length factor based?

For flashes, definitely stay away from tartan flashes.

Why?

Tartan flashes just aren't worn by Highland Scots, according to our native Highlanders on this forum. So if one were going to wear this outfit to a black-tie event in Scotland and wanted to not look like a tourist, tartan flashes should be avoided.

I completely agree. I have attended many Clan Macpherson related events and functions in Scotland, and I have never seen tartan flashes worn with day or evening attire.

Friday - They tend to flap around. Walking or a little bit of breeze, there is this flapping going on. Simply folding them over, to reduce the length by an inch makes all the difference to the look.
