    Re: All black: a safe choice?

    This is my latest 'black' outfit which I think works pretty well



    For those questions about wearing new brogues for dancing, I would wear them out and about a few times before hand and also try to soften the back of the heal area. I normally stick a fabric plaster on my heal at the same height as the top of the heal of the shoe when I first go dancing in new pair of shoes, helps to prevent any blisters which might distract you from your dancing

    I decided a while back to leave the black shirt at home...looks too much like you're in the Aberdeen Amateur Theatrical Society's production of Guys And Dolls.

    ***... I'd also suggest you might want to re-think wearing those thick-soled ghille brogues to a dance. While the ghillies are fine outdoors, they really don't do well on the dance floor; they are just that tad too heavy and clunky for any sort of elegant footwork.

    Agreed. They make ghillie brogues specifcally designed for dancing (to change into if you prefer, just prior to dancing), and for men, which is rather nice. Of course, non-clunky soles work fine too for most of the 'gentler' reels and Strathspeys.
