Aloha Shirts and Solid Color Kilts, Blending Cultures

[Southern Breeze]

There's nothing wrong with wearing Aloha Shirts with Tartan. I do it on a regular basis. If you really want to get noticed wear Tie dyed shirts. :grin:

[Riverkilt]

Dang, this ol' hippie has a LOT of tie die too! Visions of Wavey Gravy...

How about tartan kilt, tie die t-shirt with an Aloha shirt....that'll jolt some optic nerves!

Ron I like the route 66 ensemble.

'Ensemble'....!! Wow!! is that high fashion or what??!!

Crack me up.

Back in the olden days of the early 60s my minor in college was Clothing and Textiles. I actually took a college course in Clothing Selection....I don't think that Route 66 ensemble is what they had in mind.

I do still have the textbook. Nary a mention of kilts, even in the men's fashion history section.

The textbook was written by two women professors from UConn and published in 1961. They bash men saying, "Most American men are not fashion conscious; they think the only purpose of clothes is to cover the body and keep it warm or cool. They seem to think it unfitting to think of their appearance, and so they pretend indifference."

I'm guessing those ladies are dead by now...I'll bet they'd be impressed by the chatter on this board over what goes with what...

When I think Aloha shirt and kilt, I think barefeet or sandals, so the white socks were a bit of a shock ... and the yellow shirt, not to fond of that shade of yellow, that's just me.

Looks good. Looks natural, relaxed - some guys don't always look right in Aloha shirts (I'm one of them). It works for you.
If it wasn't the middle of winter, I'd be thinking of my lone Aloha shirt combined with one of my UKs ... at least four months to sandal weather ...

[Riverkilt]

Aye, sandal weather means dropping the kilt hose and the t-shirt too, letting my chest tattoos be the t-shirt...except for work of course.

One nice thing about living in a small town in the canyonlands...I can get away with wearing white kilt hose now and then... :-)

Ron, hands down the best pic was the saffron Rkilt with aloha shirt. Very good look!

[Riverkilt]

Thanks, just added it.

Wish I'd known about the un-tucked in look with a t-shirt then though...even up in the mountains it got kinda toasty at the dance.

Ron I agree with KiltedCodeWarrior. I like the leather Rkilt outfit.

I also wear "aloha" shirt with my black UK workmans. I really preffer the look of them tucked in even though mine aren't meant to be. But I didn't have alot of choice since "aloha" shirts make up about 1/2 my shirt selection ;)

I've met Seamus Kennedy. He definitely has his own look. But like alot of other things, it looks good on him because he is so comfortable in it.

There is a strong possiblity that my taste shoudn't be counted as a positive, however, since I've been known to wear urban camo bdus and an "aloha" shirt.
