    My wife has a choral group she is singing in on Saturday night and I was wondering what to wear? It is not a real dress up affair, but I just want to look nice.
    As an occasional choral singer who enjoys being on either side of the proscenium, my opinion is that you can never wear too much black to a concert.

    I would also consider removing the outside pockets. I think the cargo pockets lower the look to "casual;" without them, it moves up to "casual dress."

    Contrasts

    First of all I want to say that I have no taste. That being said:

    What you want is contrast black kilt, white or patterned shirt.

    Now try this black shoes, flash, kilt, four-in-hand tie, belt, & sporran with white kilt hose and shirt.

    Or try white shoes, flash, & shirt with black hose, kilt and tie.

    Oh I forgot to mention that. I always remove the pockets when I want to look more dressed up. I really like that feature!

    Here's one for a few $$ less - not quite as thick, and not hand-made, but still quite nice.

    Merino wool sweater.

    That's a nice looking sweater. Too bad it's starting to warm up here.

    I had the same thought. I don't wear sweaters very often anyway, and I sure won't need one for the next several months.
