Hi Donald,

I am in the UK, so I can't really advise about proms, but will say this. I think a belted plaid will be too hot, especially for dancing. The danger is also that unless they are worn 100% correct, they can look scruffy. I would have thought that at prom, you would have wanted to look your best.

The other thing is underwear. If a man wears a kilt he should always wear what is appropriate for the activity in which he is engaged. Can you and do you trust all the other people who will attend? Some food for thought.

Regards

Chas
