Cheap and tacky. And period???

[Nagamochi]

So here's my beef. At Pennsic I purchased two wonderful items. Firstly, Ursula's Alcove had a white/sky blue/lavender plaid kimono that I felt fairly certain to be period. Managed to haggle a good price with her and got it, may Kannon bless her. Secondly, I found a jaw-dropping gorgeous striped fabric from another merchant in fairly thin bands of pale burgundy red, pine green, and gold. I'm gearing that towards a FABULOUS pair of hakama.
I know plaid kimono were semi-formal for most of period and ditto for the striped hakama. I'm curious if a Nihon-jin would ever wear the two together, or if that was god-awful tacky as it is today? More so, would the combo be period for a Heian kuge like me?

Hoping to win the local tacky garb moot,

No stripes or plaids, as far as I know for Heian kuge. What pictorial evidence of plaid I've seen tends to be worn by commoners and buke and mostly fairly late (Momoyama). If anybody has other info, please chime in 'cause I certainly don't know it all!

Click on "Early Modern Screens" and browse "Genre Scenes of the Twelve Months" and "The Maple Viewers."

You will see garments done in blocks of differently colored and patterned fabrics. Stripes and plaids and solids on the same person. But it seems very much a 16th century fashion if these screens are anything to go by.
