Outfit help please

[Panache]

I'll be attending a wedding in late April. I'll not be part of the wedding ceremony, just a guest, and of course I'll be wearing my kilt. I only own one kilt, a SWK Nightstalker, and haven't yet worn it formally. My plan is to wear it with a tux shirt, bow tie, belt, sporran, and either off white or grey hose w/ black flashes. And shoes of course. My question is; because I'll only be a guest, and not part of the ceremony, is wearing a tux shirt and a bow tie too formal?

I may buy a SWK heavy weigh Black Watch before the wedding, in which case I'll wear that kilt instead.

flairball,

Unless the wedding is a black tie event (i.e. the other male guests are wearing tuxedos) then a tux shirt and bow tie would not be appropriate. Also, you didn't mention a jacket. If you were planning on wearing just the shirt and tie without one, you would run the risk of being seen as a kilted waiter.

Go with a regular dress shirt and tie. If you don't have a jacket, then perhaps a nice vest or sweater would complete the outfit.

Have fun at the wedding!

Cheers

I second Panache's thoughts. But adding, unless you have a kilt jacket or an appropriate sweater, I might would skip the tie all together. To me, a shirt and tie with no jacket makes the outfit look incomplete. And what I mean by an appropriate sweater is one with a v-neck that would show the tie.
Remember, your kilt will always make your outfit dressier, even if you think its casual.
