Hey all,

I have searched the forum with no success in addressing this question:
When is it appropriate to wear a fly plaid? When is it not?

I have been to ceilidhs and seen people wear PCs with no fly plaid, and other occasions and receptions where some wear one and others don't. I have even seen fly plaids with Argyll jackets and vests!

Is it just preference? When is wearing a fly plaid too much?

Personally, I was thinking that if I am wearing Argyll and vest, no fly plaid; and occasions calling for a PC over an Argyll jacket and vest, would call for a plaid. Is that logic sound?

For an upcoming gala hosted by the Smithsonian in DC, I intend to wear one along with my PC coatee, as the dress code is black tie. Is that normal and appropriate?
