"Viking Style" Brouge lacing?

[Ivor]

I can appreciate that formal dress comes with pre-ordained conventions and that these are there to avoid any discomfort at such occasions both for the hosts and guests. I am less sure that these rules, conventions etc. necessarily apply in day to day life, however, particularly nowadays when standards of dress are no longer circumscribed in the way they once were. Obviously certain standards prevail such as those preserving decency and obvious gaffes such as wearing a kilt with the pleats to the front but I am just wondering whether the way one ties laces falls into this category.
