    Patent-Leather Formals or Ghillies?

    I have a Rabbie Burns Supper to attend on Saturday evening. For non-Scottish occasions, I recently purchased a tuxedo and accoutrements, including these:

    Can I wear these with black-tie and kilt? Or, shoud I stick to polished shoes? (I don't have buckled shoes.)

    Some would, but I would be inclined to go with the gillie brogues. No one would fault for following the herd.

    I like those shoes, and encourage you to wear them, on one condition: you have your picture taken alongside the best-looking lady at the party.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    Well then, you have nothing to worry about. You've already taken 1st Prize! Enjoy the Burns Supper.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
