Advice and a Story

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.

Regards,

Todd

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.
