Advice and a Story

outside of a formal Prince charlie ( or the like ), a good-looking, well knit sweater would be best for formal occasions. For some reason I feel silly in a button-down shirt while kilted.

I would advise against a sweater for "formal dress". Sweaters are "casual wear" or in the case of a kilt, "casual day wear", a notch or two below the tweed kilt jacket. They're fine for a casual event or outdoor activities, though.

A dress shirt is appropriate with a kilt, especially with a kilt jacket. I'm not a big fan of button-down collars myself, except for very casual shirts.

I agree, a nicely pressed shirt with collar stays instead of a button down looks the best along with an Argyle or Tweed jacket if you want something less formal than a Prince Charlie.

good points... I don't think "formal" was the right phrase.
