In the first photo, I noted how the the major colour of the shirt echoes a minor colour of the kilt. This is something generally advised in 20th century clothing guides along with varying the scale of the patterns. I have found it useful in my own mixing of tartans in street wear.

The last photo calls to mind a trend I've noticed in my folk enthusiast friends in general. (And even been found guilty of myself). That is natural fibers and earthtones give a traditional look without any overt historicist style points. The stand up collar, rather than the usual stand and fall, also lends folk connotations.

I wish to repeat, all the photos are excellent. It is hard to have a better example to follow than Matt.
