Casual shirt color for Isle of Sky

[OC Richard]

Hello!

I recently got my second kilt from USA Kilts in the Isle of Skye tartan and absolutely LOVE it. I’m having a hard time finding a casual (t-shirt/long sleeve) colored shirt to pair with it.

Not sure what you mean by "pair with".

If you mean match, in common modern traditional Highland Dress there's not a concept of matching a shirt with a specific tartan.

Rather, a button-up shirt with collar in pretty much any ordinary shirt colour is worn with any tartan kilt.

Traditionally, for Day Dress a plain, or Tattersall, shirt is usual.

Now, what's a "Tattersall" shirt? It's one of those things that "you know when you see it" but putting it into words gets overly complicated.

Other than that, plain white shirts are the most common, but pale blue, pale yellow, etc are also seen.

Here are some Tattersall and Country Check shirts. Any of these shirts would pair with Isle of Skye (or any other tartan) just fine.



"Tattersall" implies a two-colour check pattern, square and equally spaced.

"Country check" implies a similar pattern but with three (or sometimes more) check colours, clearly seen in the shirt to far right.
