Blue shirt with Navy argyll jacket?

Go with what you want. I don't see anything wrong with a shirt that is not white. Remember, fashion is not about following rules of what to wear or looking like everyone else, it's rough guidelines that can be adjusted to your personal taste. I personally avoid white when I can as colors like blue and gray fit me better.

My first thought is wondering if you are overdoing the blue a tad? Blue kilt , blue jacket, blue shirt, blue vest and possibly a blue tie, hmmmm I think if it were me, I might consider the white shirt as a contrast. You will of course, decide whatever you will.

Thanks for the input, everyone.

Jock's comment re: contrast has me wondering if the white shirt may give the outfit a little more punch to it.

I'll probably try both outfits in front of the wife and kids - they are quite good at giving brutally honest fashion advice.

You can get a white shirt at Walmart albeit without French cuffs for $10.
That would be my quick fix solution.

Costco has quality white shirts also - as I was pleasantly surprised by their dress shirts recently

I am also from Toronto, I would suggest looking at Winners or Marshall's or even going to a local Value Village. I have found several shirts with French cuffs at all those places. I have worn a light blue shirt several times with Highland wear. I like Jock think that a blue shirt and blue everything else may be a bit much, however I would like to see photos of the outfit with both shirts just to make sure.

A coloured shirt will not make it look to casual, remember this is day wear we are discussing. One question I do have is what colour hose are you planning to wear? Another question is where is the Burns Night? I might want to go to another.

I'll probably go with cream hose, but have the option of lovat blue.

I bought a new white shirt on the weekend - you can never have enough white shirts, right?

I'll probably try several combinations Wednesday or Thursday night and figure out what looks best.

One added wrinkle - I am missing one flash. Yes, just one. I'm looking forward to tearing apart the entire house tonight to find the other.

Alas, McMurdo, the supper is at a private club.
