Tartan kilts work best with ghillies, boots, or in some cases some types of leather sandles without hose. Not much else that I have seen does the kilt justice.
I often wear my kilt (tartan that is) with my all black Converse ALl-Star. I wear with the hose up or down, or with low cut socks in the summer, and it doesnt look like formal attire, but I get nothing but compliments.
