`Like many things in life, what we can do is one thing and what we should do is entirely another matter and kilts and accompanying kilt attire are no different. The two obvious "its not done" type things are, mixing different Clan tartans and wearing a different Clan badge to the Clan tartan that you are wearing in kilt form. Another, would be wearing a tartan tie when wearing the kilt. To us Scottish traditionalists these examples are avoided and actually indicate to us that the kilt wearer doing these things does not know the "form".
To many who do not know the "form" and particularly those new to kilt wearing and often, not always, from outwith Scotland who are understandably, not aware of the potential minefields. Added to which and as useful and informative as this website most certainly is, the water often gets "muddied" by differing points of view, which may, or may not be, based on firm foundations.
