Well, ties are always in for business meetings, so you will have to decide whether "giving them up" is more important than accepted attire or not. None of us will care what you do, but we all have to make choices and accept the consequences. And that goes for kilts.

Personally, I always opt for the more conservative in business situations, subscribing to the maxim that few people notive or note conservative clothing, but everyone notes odd or ostentatious attire.

For business in a kilt, I'd opt for a gray wool jacket with a vest (it's a bit less "showy" than the large silver buckle) and keep everything "un"-shiny. Subdued sporran and shoes and hose would keep the overall tone subdued so that the focus is indeed business and not your outfit. Leave the bling for other occassions. Cessna could give you some good tips on proper dress in a business situation.

But you must remember that I am old, beat-up, and crotchety. And I tend toward pretty conservative clothing in general.

Take a look at the photo below; it's kind of what I am talking about. And good luck.


I'm not good lookin', but I'm somehow sweet and kind.
