"Viking Style" Brouge lacing?

[gsmacleod]

Or is what I have seen elsewhere acceptable and wear the white socks and ghillie brogues.

As to this, nobody (likely) is going to say anything. But, since certainly you're talking about wearing a kilt more than once, I'd opt for something other than white, cream or black. Blue, green, red, yellow, purple, orsnge; with so many options, you'll probably land there eventually anyway.

For my wedding, I had a kilt made, bought the recommended white hose, and rented jacket, waistcoat and belt per hire shop recommendations. While I have many great memories of the day, I wish I knew then what I know now. The white hose, tartan flashes and waistcoat and belt are all the things I immediately notice in the pictures.

To the rental companies credit, when I asked about rented/buying ghillie brogues, they said just to wear a highly polished pair if cap toe oxfords so at least I don't have to look at those in the pictures.
