What is your favorite way to dress in the Contemporary style?

Ern,
Thanks for including a shot with sandals. I frequently, in warm SoCal, wear sandals with my kilt. I would venture to say most Saturdays.
It works well with a casual kilt, PV, RKilt etc. As an addition, having mentioned warm weather, in contrast to Steve's Fedora I like a Tilley hat for the sunny hot days.

When I'm going contemporary, this is probably my favourite outfit (I'm second from the left). This black shirt has epaulettes and scalloped pockets which evoke the styling on an Argyll, but I like that it's a simple, black, button down shirt. I wear this with jeans on stage a lot as well.

For my contemporary look, I opt for the simplest sporran possible. Black leather, no tassels and simple charcoal hose, (sometimes scrunched down) and ankle boots.

I also wear a white metal plate belt buckle with this look to pick up on other silvery elements in the outfit such as my watch, the second buckle on my hip etc... for this reason, I sometimes also wear my monk strap shoes.



This look is certainly modern but reflects my personal casual style. If I'm going casual in the kilt, which I do far less than I did when I was fronting a Celtic rock act, this is an approach that I think looks contemporary but not sloppy. That's what I go for with saxon attire also.

Here another pic of the same outfit. I'm second from the right in this pic.

Yesterday I had on my Lindsay wool/poly blend 6 yarder at work. I wore a wide belt and black tasselled sporran. There was a T-shirt up top with some Games logo on it. Footwear was boots with cheapo white socks squashed down. No kilt pin.

If you look back to post #20, you'll find a photo of the same event on a warm summer evening - I'm second from the left wearing a black hemp kilt from RKilts. The rest of the outfit is fairly conventional - sporran, hose, belt etc. (all black). Very comfortable and certainly in the contemporary category.

This look always gets a laugh.
