I wonder how many people would really recognize that military beret for what it is, and I sincerely doubt that those who did would be disturbed. I'll grant you that wearing dress blue uniform trousers with the red strip would look glaringly out of place with a tuxedo jacket, but I don't think that can be compared to wearing a military beret with a kilt.
