I've scoured the web, and so far the opinions seem mixed.

Would it be possible to get suspender buttons added to a kilt fairly easily from most of our favorite makers?

Is it a bad idea to ask for them?

Would they look better with or without a waistcoat?

Are bowties cool? (Sorry long-time Doctor Who fan, can't resist the wordage) I love bowties, but will they go with a kilted look? Is it better to match the tartan, or would that be too "matchy"? Perhaps a good neutral color instead (by neutral I mean a solid color tie that matches the tartan i.e. - Red or Blue for Robertson)

As for footwear, would it be a sin if I wore my kilt casually with a pair of sneakers? I believe the look is called "Geek Chic", as I am a geek I have no trouble with this label. But I like clear, bold lines and colors.

I am aiming for a more casual-business look that matches my love of "high-dress" and my desire to be comfortable.

All of this would, of course, include a sporran, probably a cover. Not sure on hose with sneakers though...thoughts?
