Got my first kilt: accessories, buying advice and building a package

[RecQuery]

After years of renting, in my 30s I eventually decided to buy a kilt. I didn't want to be a Scotsman visiting the US who didn't have his own kilt... and if I'm honest I always liked wearing them when I was renting and think I could get away with it more over in the US... not as many quizzical looks, etc.

Anyway, I eventually got measured for and bought my first kilt and just received it today. 8/9 yards, hand made with some areas machine reinforced. Lochcarron mill, 16oz, Davidson Ancient, pleated to sett -- https://www.lochcarron.co.uk/davidso...tartan-fabric/

I'm trying to build from there and already have a few items. Argyll/5-button waistcoat/vest, pins, cuff links, good quality sgian dubh. Still trying to decide on sporran and belt options.

I've done some searching here and I'm looking for some advice on accessorising, manufacturers and where to buy -- either in the UK or US.

Hose/Socks

I already bought some good quality black and ecru/cream options. I know some people dislike them because they tend to look a bit too rental in appearance. Anyway given the tartan what colours would people recommend for both casual and reasonably formal occasions?

Flashes/Garters

The kilt came with tartan flashes at no extra cost, I know from searching that some dislike those. Again given the tartan what colours would people recommend? Also flashes or self-tie garters?

Ties

I know some frown on ruched ties, that being the case what are the other options? Solid colour? Wool or silk?

Shoes

I'll eventually want a few pairs. I'm just wondering that if I'm looking for something than can pull double duty as casual and reasonably formal, what would people recommend? Ghillie brogues? Brogues? Ankle boots?

Shirts

I bought a couple of black and white Victorian splay collar formal shirts and some black and white ghillie shirts from my local highland wear shop/store. Just wondering is anyone can recommend some above average to good quality formal shirts or casual shirts for kilt wear? Plain? Patterned? What Collar?
