My first time wearing my Scottish clothes and accessories.....

[Jock Scot]

Well alright as you are asking and through my traditional Scots eyes you are doing pretty well for a first time.

However, are you intending to dress that formally? The outfit, including the shoes do imply "white tie" attire to a great extent, is that what you intended? If it is then fair enough, but the whole outfit is too much for a plain "black tie" event.

As already mentioned, the kilt is far too low and the hose are far too high. The tartan flashes are not everyone's idea of a good choice and there is too much showing, about an inch is better.

The plaid is tending to overdo the whole attire, as is the bonnet and unless decorations are specifically asked for, then they are best left at home .

Depending on the event,it does change ones formal attire requirements somewhat but generally speaking for the far far more common "black tie" events then the phrase " less is more" is well worth considering.

I hope these comments help in your thinking and you can spend many a happy hour fine tuning your attire to suit the event that you choose to venture to. Good luck and have fun!
