But just knowing what colors work most flatteringly with one's harmony is only part of the equation. I joke about wearing flat caps Samuel Jackson style because he somewhat famously wears his backwards. But the truth is, a backward turned flat cap suits my face much better that wearing it normally--ie, it better suits my harmony.
As for more traditional kilt attire, on some it suits them to a tee. On others, well... Bending the "rules" can bring one back into one's personal harmony. I think that's why some can pull off a very casual presentation and wear baseball hats or hawaiian shirts or whatever with a kilt and look good....
The only reason to wear a flat cap backwards is to ride a motorcycle, preferably one with floorboards, acetylene lights and a hand shifter.
