Semi Dress Sporran

[Farlander]

Folks wear simi dress sporrans at highland games all the time, so it will be just fine!

Personally though, if you are not going to typically wear a kilt jacket (Crail or Braemar or the like), it is a bit overkill. I would suggest something more casual to start off with. You can always get a more formal sporran latter when you are ready for your first jacket and tie event.

I'm with Steve, a picture or link would be very helpful.

It really depends on the sporran and how far you are willing to dress it down.

In this recent picture I am wearing a semi-dress sporran with daywear



I think I pull it off. Now if it was was a fur and cantled model I think it would be far to much.

Here is another picture of me with the same sporran which is much more daring. I am trading off wearing a more formal sporran than the outfit should have in order to make an ensemble that is a study of black and silver.



It can work (in my opinion) but the devil is in the details.

How is it that you managed to look so epic in this picture?
(Sorry I know, a little off topic here )

And OP, the way I see it is if you think it looks good then go for it. Yeah there is attire in which it can be overkill but this is something that should be noticable when looked at in a mirror. So go with how you feel.

I think the "hunter" style sporrans with the cantle, like the one Panache is wearing, are great for slightly more formal daywear. I'm not a big fan of the "semi-dress" sporrans that are leather with fur on the front. To me, they aren't dressy enough at all for evening, and while they look okay with daywear, a plain leather sporran is both cheaper and, in my mind, more aesthetically pleasing.
