    Well I certainly would, if guests are dressed as they should be at an evening wedding. If guests are wearing black tie, then a kilted guest should be wearing tartan or diced hose. I'm sorry if the groom and groomsmen have poor taste!

    All that being said, when wearing the kilt to a wedding as a guest, I wear a nice tweed jacket, hose of a colour other than white, leather sporran or even my otter mask sporran, sometimes a waistcoat, sometimes not (depending on the weather), well polished black shoes.

    Here are a couple of pics from a couple of recent weddings I've attended:




    The last picture is a bit dressier, as my wife and I went to a ball later that evening. Here in the South, it is quite common for wedding guests to wear black tie for evening weddings (when so many Southern weddings take place).



    Regards,
    Sandford

    Thank you. I am very partial to this jacket, and it gets a bit more wear than my others, although it is made of quite thick tweed and therefore can be quite warm.

    Cheers,
