Hi all,

I know the red-laced brogue conversation has come up before. My question now is: Would ghillie-brogues with red laces match in formality with a Montrose doublet?

I am trying to put together my wedding outfit, which would ideally include some nice buckle brogues, but the budget might require skipping them, and going with the ghillies, or a plain black shoe (of which I don't have any matching the formal level of the doublet anyway).

The whole outfit, I imagine to be something like this: (some imagination necessary)

hand-made (Spanish) lace Jabot (made by a member of the new family(Spanish))



velvet Montrose doublet (dark: black, dark green/blue/red?..opinions?)



belt:



kilt Gunn reproduction (Dalgliesh)



(sporran)

diced hose


(with light blue garter ties?)

shoes


So, if (when) my budget runs out, and the shoes aren't possible: Do you think the red-laced brogues would look right with the ensemble above?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Michael
