Wearing of Trews...to black tie affair.

Thanks Peter and company. I just use my tuxedo braces. Never liked such a big belt and buckle for formal events, like I was going to the rodeo...

If your trews are the high waisted style with the fish tails and laces in the back there are no belt loop and no where to wear a belt. You should have braces buttons inside the waistband though.

A variation on Peter's first rate advice, particularly if you are wearing braces, is to wear a black low cut 3 button waistcoat and dinner jacket instead of a cummerbund . That way the braces are hidden.

George boots may not be easily come by, over your side of the pond, so well polished thin soled black Chelsea boots will get you by.

Monarch of the Glen may have been a light situation comedy, and may not have been the most accurate portrayal of Highland life, but they did pretty well with the costuming.

I have a pair of tuxedo pattern leather oxfords, I think they might work, but I do have Chelsea Boots, with a good old fashion Military spit shine. Will decide later on shoes. Will wear the Prince Charles with 3 button waistcoat, black tie, black braces, nothing fancy. I think it will look great with the MacDonald Clanranald trews. Thanks..
