    wearing kilt to prom

    When wearing a jacket, you don't wear a belt, right?

    Also, I have a black watch tartan kilt...what should I wear, a black shirt or white shirt?

    You can wear a belt with a jacket, but not with a waistcoat. If it's for your Prom I would suggest a white shirt as the function befits that level of formality.

    When wearing a waistcoat/vest one doesn't wear a belt as the buckle ruins the lines of the waistcoat/vest (this goes for all outfits.

    For a prom I would wear a white shirt.

    I suggest you go through this thread:

    http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/x...x.html?t=22433

    It shows a number of X Markers wearing formal attire. It should give you a few ideas as you come up with your own formal look.

    Cheers

    Looking forward to the pictures.

    Ditto the white shirt...as conservative as that may seem you don't want to look like you're a cast member of the Aberdeen production of "Guys And Dolls".

    Enjoy it and stay safe.

    Best
