Hi! new to this forum, I'm a scot living in fife currently. I'm purchasing a new kilt, just because I fancied it really, haha, and have my college prom coming up. Previously, at my high schools senior proms, I wore a bow tie with my wing collar shirt but now I'm considering getting a normal collar shirt and wearing a neck tie. This all started purely because I came across tartan neck ties, so I thought it would look nice and different if I got an ancient smith tartan neck tie (my new kilt will be ancient smith tartan(my first one was spirit of scotland tartan)). So obviously the tie will match the kilt and flashes etc. I just wondered if this was acceptible for a black tie formal event you know, when I'll be in my full formal wear jacket and waistcoat and brogues etc.? Or is it an unchangeable rule that for such an event I definitely should stick to the bow tie? So any advice on this would be incredibly helpful, don't want to look like an idiot, especially for my dates behalf haha!

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions and responses given, cheers!
John
