It depends on the waistcoat! If it's tartan, it should match your kilt. Check out the samples in this thread (here). Some are cut on the bias and some cut square but, they all match the kilt tartan.
PGL 276.jpg Now this guy, Major James Fraser of Castle Leathers, seemed to like to mix it up.
If it's not a tartan waistcoat then there are other considerations. In some respects, you can wear what you want, matching or not. However, it should at least compliment your kilt and/or jacket, in my opinion. I have a brown suede waistcoat that I wear with a Lovat green, tweed jacket and my red, green & blue based tartan kilt.

Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle.
