    is it appropriate to wear a Wallace Red Modern to a funeral

    I forgot to add my length of kilt.. just posted about wearing a Wallace Red Modern to a funeral .. my kilt goes slightly above my knee, so with black tights, black boots or black clogs with black sweater or blouse.. would that be appropriate ?

    Angie, Tartan is neutral. Your tartan is your tartan in all situations and circumstances. There is never a "wrong" tartan unless it's from a warring clan, and even then....

    Welcome to XMarksthescot! You should be just fine dressing as you suggest. I assume you are worried about the bold red colour, etc. in the kilt, but that should not give offense of any kind, IMHO. It is more important that you are there to show your respects and comfort the family, that should be greatly appreciated...

    It would be absolutely fine Angie. The level of dress you propose would be very respectful and am sure would be very well received at the funeral.
