Kiltic Morning Dress

[An t-Ileach]

I've got to go to one of those affairs next month that requires morning dress. Well, I've got a morning dress suit (it was my father's actually), but I don't fancy wearing it because (a) it's not a kilt thing, and (b) it'll be bloody hot in early June.

So, what's the approved kilty version of the morning suit? This is London, and the event is "posh" (no it's not a Buck House garden party - they're not that posh any more) and (ex-)military.

That would look great for a more posh formal look.

Kilt w/ argyle jacket...

[zeytoun]

Argyle jacket in black or charcoal, with a matching waistcoat. Black leather ghillies or brogues, and black leather or perhaps grey fur day/evening sporran (one without the silver cantle). Flashes. White shirt, turn down collar. Tie and kilt hose selection depend on the kilt you will wear.

Prince Charlie coatees, doublets, bow ties, plaids and brooches, jewelled dirks, etc, are only appropriate for evening wear.

Brown leather and tweed Argyle jackets, while often listed as daywear, are not ultra formal. If the group is following everything to the T, then stick with the black leather and the black or charcoal Argyle. If they are a little lax, you might be able to get away with the brown leather and tweed.
