I rather think that Hamish has done that.

He is the inspiration!

And as a southerner, my choice for a summer wedding would be ... a seersucker kilt suit!

I have to say that Phil, Sandford and Jock are spot on with this, for a daytime wedding as a guest and lets face it most weddings are held during the day with the reception going into the wee hours, so for me something like this would work as a guest.

As someone who performs many weddings my input is this - the kilt is not the issue here unless you are in the wedding party. Proper dress for the occassion is the issue. If it is a casual wedding - dress casual. If it's a dressy wedding the announcement should state so and direct your proper attire.

A wedding is never about the guests so don't be selfish or childish - it's not about you (the general you). If you show up at a dressy wedding with jeans and a sweatshirt you should be refused entry - just as at any proper gathering - proper attire is expected. Too many people have the notion that "I always wear jeans so I'm showing up in jeans simply because that's what I do". You can substitute kilts, moomoos, shorts or what ever you like in the preceeding sentence. Either wear the proper attire or don't go. Kilted is ( in my opinion) always acceptable unless you've been told/asked to wear something else. Pretty simple really. Wear the proper kilt and kilt kit at the appropriate time. Sweatpants are comfortable but I don't wear them all the time. As it states in Ecclesiastes 3:1
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. So with all - moderation.

Thanks for the great kilt information herein.

Jamie,

I notice that you wear a vest for the morning and afternoon weddings, but not the evening. I understand that to call for the most formal level of dress, but you look the most casual in that one. Am I misunderstanding?

Galician,

I wasn't thinking that the waistcoat was that big of a factor (though the brown corduroy one is certainly less formal than the blue pinstripe one).

It was the type of jacket and color/style of the accessories I was focusing on.

The "morning" picture uses a brown cotton twill day wear and the most casual of the jackets. The "afternoon" picture uses a tweed Crail style jacket and black accessories. The "evening" outfit has a black braemar jacket, black accessories, and the fancy ghillie brogues.

Cheers
