Advice and a Story

Try a "dry run" first. Dress in those clothes, take a pic, & post it for us to tell you what's wrong with it.

Hi,

I have to agree with Riverkilt, the sweater with a white shirt and tie would look sharp.

But, also second Big Dave's sentiment, check yourself out in the mirror first and if you think it looks good, go with it.

Sounds like a good idea, but we haven't bought that ribbon yet, so it might not be until later this month. I will re post and let you constructively criticsize me.

Also I have worn sweaters on colder days, but I really get warm in a sweater. I think most of mine are so close to the neck, that one would hardly see the shirt or tie, but we'll see later on what I decide.

I do know that I stand in front of a full length mirror before going out many times, and never did that before! haha

DALE.

A V-neck sweater vest works well too - think, a sleeveless sweater. That's what I wore to our Christmas party at church, along with a french cuffed shirt and tie. There are pics posted somewhere on here from that.

outside of a formal Prince charlie ( or the like ), a good-looking, well knit sweater would be best for formal occasions. For some reason I feel silly in a button-down shirt while kilted.

I would advise against a sweater for "formal dress". Sweaters are "casual wear" or in the case of a kilt, "casual day wear", a notch or two below the tweed kilt jacket. They're fine for a casual event or outdoor activities, though.

A dress shirt is appropriate with a kilt, especially with a kilt jacket. I'm not a big fan of button-down collars myself, except for very casual shirts.

I agree, a nicely pressed shirt with collar stays instead of a button down looks the best along with an Argyle or Tweed jacket if you want something less formal than a Prince Charlie.

good points... I don't think "formal" was the right phrase.
