    I like it, but I think that the shirt is a bit incongruous with the kilt and boots. Maybe roll or push up the sleeves to make it look less formal?

    In no way would I presume to know half as much as many on here I would have to reject this particular look. not on any one article but more as looking at is the whole picture so to speak...

    My understanding is a kilt is the perfect pair of pants that can be dressed up or down depending on the rest of the articles you chose to wear with it. With that in mind you have to match the boots not with the kilt but with the shirt or other accessories. In this example the boots don't go with the shirt and that is most likely why the look falls short of its true potential.

    That shirt would be nicely complemented with a set of ankle boots and any pair of socks you chose (even white) scrunched down. With those boots I would lean more towards a collarless shirt or even a jacobite shirt. The shirt is too far in contrast to the boots for the look to appear appealing to me. Thats not to say you cant wear high boots with that shirt just not those ones IMHO

    Wow long post I now defer to the far greater wisdom of the rabble

    I myself like the look I personally wear either 17" lineman boots or 14" doc's with my kilts with either a tshirt or a long sleeve shirt that is close to the same dominate color in the kilt I happen to be wearing at the time. The reason I prefer the tall boots is for safety reasons, living in West Texas and riding a bicycle (mequite thorns and cactus) the boots provide me needed protection to my lower legs.

    I like the look just fine, but ... yes, better without the shirt. No shirt at all, even.

    I like the shirt and boots combo as is. As others have noted, I'd do something different with hose tops.

    And I love the lineman photo! Almost stole it to show Bruno what he could end up looking like (see the Meershaum pipe thread) but I'll behave. For now
