Crikey, you have started something!!!!!! This subject has been covered in many and loooong threads over the years and there is no quick answer other than what OCRichard has said above. Have a look at the two tattersall shirt threads going at the moment and the "less is more" thread that was here not so long ago for some hints. Use the search function for "matchy matchy" threads and perhaps some kind soul might put up a link or two. In the meantime I will see if I can put up a picture to demonstrate just what this traditionally dressed Scot wears to avoid matching colours and this is the bit that YOU will like, no thought at all! What you decide to do is entirely your own affair, but many from your side of the pond have (somewhat reluctantly on occassion) seen the benifits of avoiding too much matching of colours.
An oft seen picture, I am afraid, but it may give you an idea.
In this picture I have been accused by some of the more mischiefous members here of getting a tad matchy matchy. Well ok the shirt , tie, flashes, pocket hankerchief and a part of the kilt are blue and had I thought about it I might have changed the shirt and tie, but ------.
