Semi Formal Headwear

[Nathan]

Getting back on topic: When I'm wearing formal wear and want to wear headdress outside due to weather concerns, I choose a navy blue Balmoral bonnet. In my view, the diced or non diced options would be equally appropriate as would the red or self coloured toorie. I personally reserve my fawn and lovat coloured bonnets for day wear as this colour scheme is just so outdoorsy and connotes country pursuits. If weather is so bad that fashion can no longer be a consideration, I opt for a black wool toque.

Again, I most often wear no headdress at all with Highland formal but I think a bowler, homburg or similar hat would make an incongruous combination.
