Just a thought. If you wanted to make your sporran more formal you could add some accessories to it. A silver or gold cantle, if such could be fitted.
Cheaper and easier would be woven gold or silver bells like the ones on an Argyle's badgerhead or good chained bells in an interesting pattern.
Not that hard to DIY. You could probably get curtain cords or golden hat cords. Coloured or accented cords could match your kilt. Easy to attach and remove as necessary.
A dressier sporran strap would also change the perceived level of formality of the sporran. I'm not a fan of chains but patten leather would look good. I'm wondering if a white or brocade strap would work. My imagination says yes but the cautious side of me thinks you could end up looking like you're wearing all the shiny things a small child picked up in a bazzare.
The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
He keeps his side arms awful,
And he leaves them all about,
Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.
