I've got my first semi-formal event to go to kilted, and I'm not entirely sure what 'semi-formal' means.

I mean, I know I don't have to wear a prince charlie and pull up in a limo, but past that I'm not sure.

I'll be wearing a maple leaf tartan kilt, with muted green hose and a belt that is, in my best estimation, 'mahogany', or reddish brown.

Would some low Doc Martens [black] work with that? I remember hearing once that belts and shoes should match.

Also, would gold flashes work [in the tartan, the green has gold in the middle of it]? I'm also thinking maybe a white short sleeved dress shirt with no tie [or a black one?]

Most of this is really up for grabs, because I don't own much by way of clothing [being paid for the first time in forever on monday, so shopping is in order]

There's a certain young lady that needs impressing - else I'd not even consider what to wear until it was time to get dressed.
