I have been reading up on what you are supposed to and not supposed to wear, and it is all a bit conflicting. I have no problem with a bow tie being more appropriate for when you would wear one with saxon dress, but what of the daytime?

I have read that a clan tartan tie is a no no, because it probably won't match your kilt even if it is supposed to, and I have checked my tie, and discovered, yes the dyes are different, but will anyone really notice?

If I am wearing a tweed jacket generally I wear a woven woolen tie, in somewhat muted "country" colours, however the ties I generally wear would clash with my charcoal grey kilt jacket as much as any tartan tie, which at least has some connection with the kilt.

I am going to be wearing my kilt tomorrow and there are likely to be photographers present, I hope whatever I do will be forgiven if I post them later, as I am fairly new to wearing the full rig and whilst I am not afraid of breaking some traditional rules I don't want to put myself too far out on a limb.
