White Dress Shirt? No real kilt belt?

[macwilkin]

All right, though...sometimes those colors can run away with you...you can't go wrong sticking with the basics. I've always been big on blue oxford button-down collar shirts but there are some situations where a white dress shirt is really the norm and showing up in anything else will, how shall I say, create a bit of distance between you and the other guys in attendance...

I've been steering away from dark colors on the shirts lately...especially when wearing the kilt. Looks too much like you're in the Inverness Community Theatre production of Guys and Dolls.

I am, admittedly, pretty conservative in my idea of dress. I've seen some colors of shirt that just ought not to be...trendy today, maybe, but looking quite dated next year. And then there's the dreaded "matchy-matchy" look...let's not even get started on that....

A light blue shirt is not going to create a bit of distance, INMHO.

Listen...some of the people that I've worked with are SO conservative that if you see them wearing even a light blue shirt with their dark business suit, that's their casual Friday outfit!

I am not generally way out there with colors. For instnace, even though i can't afford it righ now, I Couldn't bring myself to do the vest in my family tartan, but, I am no lemming either. A white shirt, where decorum calls for it okay, but otherwise i like to try and combine the lesser colors in the tartan with hose and shirt color. For instance a dark blue shirt, with a tartan red tie, maybe with a gold or silver dag stripe, Navy hose, red garters, black vest.

In the end the only thing I will never wear are white hose, but I say wear what you think you look good in, then the air of confidence you project will have you in good stead.
