Dressing for a wedding

[Jock Scot]

Is the wedding taking place during the day, or evening?
Is the wedding formal? smart? casual?------------Please note that I do not use that dreadful and meaning-less term, "semi-formal".
What is the weather likely to be?
What might the other GUESTS be wearing?
What might the GUESTS of your generation be wearing?

The above questions are the ones that I would ask myself and my hosts should I be invited to any wedding anywhere in the world, regardless of whether I might wear saxon wear or Highland attire. Given that I rarely wear the kilt outside Scotland, but on special request, I have worn the kilt outwith the UK to a wedding, on rare occasion.

Alright then, SMART. So armed with the reply and given that a clerical collar is not for me and bearing in mind the most important factor of all-------DO NOT OUTSHINE THE BRIDE! And this is a major consideration, particularly if you are likely to be the only one in Highland attire, so the theatrical look is best avoided at all costs, therefore, one must resist ones natural peacock tendencies! So for me, I would wear a tweed argyll, with waistcoat unless its going to be warm, plain coloured hose, plain flashes, plain sporran and black brogues(not those dreadful ghillie things). The clerical collar would not be difficult to include into this outfit.

So, basic smart wedding Highland attire(suit equivalent), something along the lines of this.
