    It depends. If the event is for somebody else (graduation, wedding, etc.) ask the host or honoree. But in regular situations (dinner, going out, etc.) just wear the kilt!

    I have gone to both funerals and weddings kilted. In the case of the weddings, I asked the bride first before going kilted. I didn't ask for the funeral. I wore a black Argyle with a white shirt, red tie (with small white dots) and black hose with my MacGregor of Cardney (AKA Hunting) kilt. If I were to wear a suit, it would have been my charcoal suit with the same tie and shirt.

    Our number four child (we have seven) is getting married in August. His fiance has requested I wear a suit for the photos (she is of the mind set that kilts are for renfaires and the pub.) I agreed, however, I will be changing to a kilt and tweed jacket for the reception.
