If the function you are attending is essentially casual dress, I wouldn't wear a plaid. If it is black tie then wear the fly plaid. The final decision is yours of course, you could wear a fly plaid and if you feel too conspicuous, you could remove it. How's that for not answering your question

[Panache]

brigadoon, brigadoon

lurking under sable skies

brigadoon, brigadoon

there my heart forever lies

let the world grow old around us let the heavens cry out loud

brigadoon, brigadoon

I can't remember the rest

"Lurking" ? :confused: I'm not sure I'd want to visit any place that "lurked".

It wasn't a bad muscial, I'm just used to watching a musical and humming the tunes of several of the songs. These ones just didn't stick. But still, THE TREWS, THE TREWS, OH MY THE TREWS!

Cheers

I dress formally so seldom, that I like to add the fly plaid just for that little something extra. I will admit though, that on the second formal night of my cruise I didn't bother with the plaid (I already had my pictures).

Ham: No need to apologize.

I think flyplaids look fine for formal wear (i.e. weddings and such) and most pipers I've seen wear them well, fancy dress or no.

I wore mine at my wedding and everyone thought it was just the BEST! It added a bit of color to my otherwise black jacket. (Looked good in the photos)

I don't like fly plaids.

I know this is probably going to end up in the Dos and Don'ts thread (fly plaid on a Jacobite shirt - J. Higgins also shows one this way - with no formal jacket, brown shoes with black accessories, brooch maybe a bit too high)...

...but I like the way this outfit was pulled together. Is he casual or dressed up? I could imagine him going to a graduation party or a holiday party with friends - kind of along the lines of when I see people in jeans and tux tops. He has that devil-may-care look, as though he just pulled a bunch of stuff out of the closet and got on with his social schedule.

YMMV,
