Pleats tied to formality?

[artificer]

I dunno... One of Matt's outstanding 4 yard box pleats would look outstanding with a sheriffmuir.

To my eyes, any well made kilt tailored for, and worn at, the natural waist (not low, at the pants waist), can be dressed up or down through the full spectrum of dress (see the 1 kilt, 10 looks thread.) However, low-riding kilts worn at the pants waist are limited to the types of jackets they can be worn with because of the gap between the top of the kilt and the bottom of the jacket/waistcoat. Thus, they can dress down, but not up.

All this, regardless of the tartan, the color palette, the number or style of pleating, or the fabric the kilt is made of.

Yes, a box pleat or Kingussie would be the exception to this. I was talking about knife pleats.
