Looks like he needs to hitch the kilt up a couple of inches, too. He's trying to wear it like pants.

I agree, it looks like the vest/jacket are maybe a size small but not too far off. I'm thinking it's more that he is wearing a "low-rider" kilt with an outfit tailored for the high waist, traditional kilt. The knee/hem looks close enough. Once a feature is changed, the whole picture is changed. (This is the value of this exercise: I would hate to think that this gentleman was under personal attack, but we can learn from this picture. Anyway, I'd blame his daughter, she should know better.)
Only because it is a formal thing, and we know that the cash difference is slight: brown is not worn with black. Informally, it can be tied in, or the rule ignored.
Curious to see more detail on the socks. They might have worked, except that from the "head to toe" inspection, the eye is already confused by the time the eye gets to the socks. A corsage might have made it work.
(my own rule: don't wear those lace up the socks shoes unless you're a dancer or piper. don't really know what the convention is on that subject.)
But you know what, at the end of the day he is wearing a kilt, in the snow, and that's a good thing. A kilt in the snow is a rite of passage all in itself.
