    Red or yellow are always safe choices and both look good with a Gordon.

    Look to HRH for advice

    To answer your question succinctly: red, green, or yellow if you are going for the traditional and/or matching look (red being the traditional military garter color).

    What color could or should you wear...totally up to you as has already been said. Why I really wanted to post was a general concern navy blue hose with the Gordon tartan. I'm not opposed to it, but just be aware of being too monochrome or matching too much. I went back to pics of HRH the Prince of Wales pics I had in my collection and pulled some pics to show what hose he wears with his Gordon tartan kilt. You'll note that he chooses lighter colors to provide some contrast. I really like the diced cuffs...also helps to break the monochromatism (probably not a word...but I just made it one!). Just some food for thought...
