1 Kilt 10 Looks : A Visual Guide to Formality in Highland Attire

This seems like as good a place as any other to post this.

At what level of formal dress does one wear ghillie brogues vs ordinary dress shoes vs buckle brogues?

My assumption is:
casual (tee shirt and kilt) - whatever
business casual (collar shirt and kilt) - brushed leather dress shoes
semi-formal (dress shirt, argyle jacket, and kilt) - smooth leather dress shoes / brogues
formal (formal shirt, prince charlie coatee, and kilt) - ghillie brogues
most formal (jabot, montrose doublet, and kilt) - buckle brogues

I'd say you've got it about right, ghillie brogues can be worn in the business, or even semi-formal situations as well as formal, as well the buckle brogues can be worn for formal (Black Tie) or formal (White Tie). However what you have above is good.

I concur with Glen's assessment
