Question. Do yopu get good comments on the brogues. Cause I think brogues are ugly that is why I do not own a pair
I think the Ghillie brogues are a must when you are wearing a traditional Highland outfit. I get away with regular black ones when I dress it down, but with the formal Prince Charlie or Argyle jackets, I think they really make it authentic. I'm also of the belief that you should wear what you like. To each his own. Generally, people will comment that my outfit is authentic, right down to the shoes.
Cheers!

Except that Ghillies aren't traditional to highland dress. A low quarter, buckled chucka is closer to traditional.
Ghillies are actually Victorian.
