Semi-formal outfit...opinions wanted within

That said, I'd go with Glassman's suggestion for a jacket; a tux is probably too formal.

None taken... we only put the badge on our CASUAL kilt for that reason. However, we realize that some people want to wear our casual a bit more formally... that's why we only sew the patch on, not iron it.

I think that the sweater and kilt look suits you FANTASTICALLY. Out of all the options on how to "dress up" a casual kilt, the sweater is the best. I HATE dressing up pretty much at all, but have recently bought a few rugby shirts and 2 grey sweaters to wear to occasions that are too dressy for t shirts and too casual for jackets/tuxes.

I like the combination of a sweater with a kilt, but when I wear them together I follow the English manner and tuck my sweater inside the waist of my kilt. It means more kilt showing, gets the sweater out of the way when I'm reaching for my sporran, and I just find it more comfortable. I saw an image once of Prince Charles wearing a sweater in that manner and I just liked the way it looked.

I like the sweater look the way Avonlea22 has done it. I still haven't accepted that my waist is growing, and the "sweater out" look helps to hide the evidence. ;)

You NAILED it, Avonlea. The outfit looks great.

Avonlea,

Great look, the cable knit and Arran style sweaters look great with the kilt, I ordered a navy blue cable knit from Santa. I hope she comes through with it.

Avonlea, 'me 'ol sunshine, better late than never.

We tend to be pretty casual DownUnder, formal here means a shirt with a collar.

I agree with a woolen jumper and the kilt too, an Argyle jacket for me is super formal, as formal as i get..ever!.

check out Hamish's photos, he has a kilt for every occassion.
