hello to all from a new member; a question about ghillie brogues

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

I personally prefer the Loaks, but as others have said, ghillie brogues aren't widely worn in Scotland. Were it me, I would follow Jock's advice and buy a good pair of wing tip Oxfords (brogues to the Scots), or perhaps invest in a pair of Highland buckle and strap evening shoes.

Either way, I wouldn't wear them with white socks.

Bah-dum-bum!

Unless your heart is set on ghillies, follow the advise of Jock Scot and MacMillan of Rathdown. A good pair of brogues (wingtips) works for kilts or p@nts, and is nearly always appropriate.

What's wrong with white socks???

Another in agreement - invest in a nice pair of "lace ups" (dress shoes). If you want the "look", then also get the long laces. I bought a nice pair of "lace ups" and have not had anyone "complain", yet.
