Buckles or Laces?

[230Ball]

I was admiring the thread regarding choice of shirt for black tie military events and wanted to add a question without hijacking the thread. Are buckle brogues acceptable footwear with the Prince Charlie jacket or are they reserved for the doublet? Also, I understand that white hose is for weddings and black is for funerals, so is matching my hose to a base color of my family tartan a sound choice?
I tend to over-think these things, especially in this era of personal choice, but having spent three decades in uniform my mind is somewhat calibrated along these lines or at least searching for a standard somewhere. Although I'm in the States and relatively comforted that most will not know or care for the finer details, I always want to be armed with an answer if challenged.
