I was perusing the "10 looks" thread again (it's a great reference) and decided to throw on my best kilted attire to see where it falls in the 1 thru 10 list of dress. I don't own a PC or other "formal" stuff, so this is as dressed-up as I can get.

I'm wearing standard black brogues, Argyle hose to match my kilt tartan, red traditional garter ties, a 'dress sgian dubh', 8-yard wool kilt, horse hair sporran, clan crest kilt pin with small feather adornment, dark charcoal tweed waistcoat with thistle-motif pocketwatch, lighter charcoal tweed kilt jacket (Victoria converted it for me from a regular tweed jacket I found at a resale shop) with faux-bone buttons, off-white shirt, and red tie.

Best I can figure, this falls somewhere between Jamie's #6 "dressy" and #7 "semi formal (suit equivalent)" looks. Or somewhere between McMurdo's #6 "smart day wear", #7 "dressy, and #8 "semi formal (suit equivalent)" looks. Where would you place it?

Since I don't live the kind of lifestyle where I get invited to formal affairs, I calculate that this is as dressed-up as I would ever need to be. My intent is for this to be suitable for wearing to weddings, church (sans sgian dubh), Christmas parties, or any other affair where other men would be wearing suits. Does it fit the bill without being under-dressed or over-dressed?

Sorry for the picture quality, but I had to lighten the pictures up and it made them grainy.
