Formalwear question for the experts: Argyle w/waistcoat

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Daytime wedding, right? You and the Groomsmen all have Argyll jackets, right? So what we are talking about is the gentlemen matching, ie: everybody with Argyll, waistcoat, and same colour of four-in-hand tie (because it is a daytime wedding). That being the case, I'd suggest a couple of things--

First, it looks like the waistcoat you are wearing in the photo may be a bit long in the body for wear with a kilt; it might just be the angle of the photograph, but the hem of the waistcoat should cover the top 2-inches or so of the kilt. Any more than that and it's too long.

Next, any kilt shop should be happy to rent you guys matching 5-button waistcoats-- $10-$20 seems to be the going rate. Don't rent black. Get something festive, bright, and fun, and ideally matching the bride's maids dresses.

Finally, get fairly conservative, matching neckties. Silver gray is always a good choice as it it neutral enough to go with anything. You can probably buy these at the tux shop, killing two birds with one stones.

So, that's it. White shirt, silver gray tie, coloured 5-button waistcoat, black Argyll, kilt, sporran & hose (not white) and you are good to go!
