I'm firmly convinced that in black tie, less is more. Simple and elegant go somewhat hand in hand. In Saxon white tie attire, the same holds, but the highland tradition of full dress involves a certain amount of plumage. So, if you have the opportunity for full evening dress, then it's time to bust out the bling, and a dirk would be appropriate.
"To the make of a piper go seven years of his own learning, and seven generations before. At the end of his seven years one born to it will stand at the start of knowledge, and leaning a fond ear to the drone he may have parley with old folks of old affairs." - Neil Munro
