Alan Cumming OBE

I agree, he pulls it off really well. If I could have that tailored to me I'd definitely wear it.
I even think he pulls off the boots.

I wouldn't have worn the boots either, but I think they work for him. Maybe its edgy boots on the bottom, edgy hair on the top, everything ties together. The tartan is a great one for that outfit, too.

It's a great look for him and is perfectly executed. I'd look like a tartan dirigible, but that's my problem, not the clothes. He looks like a million bucks.

Fantastic !

I could dress like that any time ! The tailoring is very professional.



Now as far as the footwear is concerned, also the sporran, it suits well the personage of Alan Cumming as it puts a little distance in the general reading of the outfit.


Best,

Wow, I really like this. The hunting Cumming (Buchan) tartan has always been one of my favorites.

I'll only chime in to give my agreement with what everyone else says about the boots. I, personally, would have worn a black dress shoe. But, given what (limited) knowledge I have of his personality, I can see why they would be a choice for him, and I suppose they do go with the hair cut. :-)

The only other thing that bothers me about his outfit is his sporran. The main thing that I don't like about it is the asymmetry. I think it's distracting and a bit off putting. But I do like the fact that it is otherwise rather plain. With such a splendid tartan outfit I think a simple sporran is all you need. I think I may have recommended a simple brown muskrat mask sporran. Or he could have stuck with a plain leather day sporran and just worn a more traditional style.

But other than that, I give the outfit two thumbs up!

I like the outfit, and although I waivered on the boots, I'll give it to him since he wasn't kicked out of the palace. If his tartan had been a loud one, then it may have been too much.

Anybody else think he might have made the kilt an inch shorter?

I think this gentleman is probably making the same mistake many do (even on this forum)... He is wearing it too low at the waist.

I did wonder when that question was going to be posed and I am surprised it took 22 posts before it was asked.

Smashing look. Although I agree with the majority here that the boots could have been better served with a simpler pair of black or even better brown dress shoes. I like the sporran--quirky like his hair and personality.
