Kilt Do's and Don'ts

[Niblox]

Aye, Robertson, and they seem to be across the world, but they are not 'traditional' footwear! Ghillie Brogues are something of a Victorian abomination (I think they look absolutely ghastly!) - the buckled shoe is much more correct from an historical viewpoint and is, to my mind, much more attractive.


I do too, for casual wear, but never when formally dressed!!


For the past 55 years, when attending formal functions, I have worn regular black dress shoes because I vowed never to wear GBs. Only very recently, have I invested in a pair of Glenfinnan buckled shoes from Mackenzie-Frain, but, as yet, I've no formal events on my calendar which will give me the opportunity to wear them!! Anyone care to invite me?!!!

I just wear well-polished black Doc Martins. Look absolutely fabulous, darlings! (just joking) Seriously, though, plain black shoes are the best things to wear with a kilt, they don't detract from the look (ghillie brogues look silly, in my humble opinion).
