Daywear colors for evening

[McMurdo]

I agree with everything Jock has said, one colour that is often overlooked is Brown, it works wonderfully with most tartans, no need to worry about whether it matches or not. I have a couple of brown tweed jackets and find them very versatile and are just that much different that you do not look like you are in the pipe band.
Below is a photo from our first anniversary Tartan Tuesday kilt night, I am wearing my vintage brown Harris Tweed Argyll and think it worked well on the night but was just different enough. Of course any of the tweeds shown below would work for any number of events, it all comes down to personal choice. Notice that you can see at least 3 Grey Argyll jackets.


I agree with you on the Black Argyll, after a decade of regular kilt wear I finally purchased one for my nephew's wedding as I felt my tartan kilt suit was over the top, I have not worn it since.
