It's not the Tartan but how the kilt is made and worn that determines the level of formality.
Even a traditionaly made kilt worn down around the hips is only suitable for the beach.
A kilt designed for Highland Athletes will not dress up too well.
A dirty kilt or one with the pleats looking like a shower curtain will look wrong regardless of what Tartan it is.

Thanks for the advice. I am not worried about bad quality as Bonnie heather Greene will be making the kilt (hopefully)

Your tartan is never wrong if it's the tartan of your clan or the clan to which you give your allegiance any more than your name could be wrong for a formal occasion.

After 11 attempts to register here under different names, we now have enough evidence to confirm that this is again Steven Aikens of Jasper AL. This time using an IP proxy in an attempt to hide his real location.

Take a look at the 1 kilt 10 looks thread, It clearly shows that it is the accessories not the kilt that determines the formality of the outfit.

The Chattan tartan? In any colour scheme, including the "ancient" hue? Of course it is!
