    I'm not personally a fan of wearing a lot of white but apparently it is sometimes done in the kilted world.

    Here is a modern, white kilt outfit:


    And a white mess dress jacket, worn in the Australian Army:

    While I was married wearing a white suit, I doubt that I would repeat the exercise.
    That is to say, were I to marry again (I am happily married, and have been for 34 years), I might wear a white jacket, but I would definitely wear a tartan kilt.
    And if I were to wear a white jacket, I might also wear white hose. But otherwise I would steer very well clear of white hose.
    Regards,

    In a kilt hire shop in Glasgow in 2004 I spotted a more extreme example.

    It was a large poster-sized photo on the wall of a wedding couple, the bride and groom both in all white.

    I'll never forget the groom's outfit:

    white Prince Charlie
    white shirt and tie
    white kilt (apparently the same fabric as the jacket)
    white fur sporran with white tassels
    white hose
    white flashes
    and... wait for it... black ghillies!!!

    oh to get SO close to hideous perfection only to fall short!!

    SOMEBODY must have made white ghillies at some point...

    LOL D'oh! They must have had lot of trouble finding the white shoe. Looking at that outfit would be like driving down the road on a nice sunny day and then suddenly crashing into a brick wall that popped up out of nowhere. Heheheh.
