Sweater vest

[Bruce Scott]

Going to a Ska show.

That was completely meaningless to me so I looked it up and found the following comments on dress:

"Ska fashion, meanwhile, ranges from the classic two tone styles of the British skinhead scene to the dapper wears of L.A's backyard punk scene. Let's take a closer look.

Shirts:
What to wear: Fly Blazer

When it comes to shirts, styles include the basic white tank top, flannels, band shirts, or even that nice checkered v-neck sweater your grandmother gave you. To tell the truth, most any hipster clothes will do.

Pants
How to wear them: Roll up the cuffs

Cuffed pants reflect the influence of old rock 'n roll, and tight trousers -- even ripped jeans -- will fit in great. You can even class it up with some slacks a la the two-tone style of The Specials.

Shoes

What to wear: Kick *** boots

Actually, acceptable footwear can range from classic Vans and Chucks (preferably checkered and black and white) to boots, loafers, Doc Martens eight-hole boots or Gibsons -- plain black, oxblood or cherry red.

Hair Styles:

How to stylize your hair: Buzz cut

Long hair can be found in ska, along with punk-influenced spiked hair, or a short buzz cut. Hell, even dreads. Bands like Viernes 13, Sublime, and Fishbone changed the style and gave ska some punk flavor.

Accessories:

What to wear: Suspenders

Nothing is more ska than suspenders. Other acceptable headgear at ska shows include trilby hats, pork pie hats, scally caps, bowlers, and knit caps. Elsewhere, you'll want your wallet chains, glasses, stud belts, and maybe even a bandanna.

Got it? Good -- you're now ready to skank!"

A lot of that was also meaningless to me and how any of it translates to Highland dress I really don't know but I'm guessing a sleeveless pullover wouldn't be entirely out of place . . .
