What to wear

[gilmore]

Hi All

I am going to my girlfriends Vetinary Ball for Glasgow University. It is a black tie affair and ceilidh dance. I am going to wear my black watch kilt with a black Argyll vest and jacket. Along with black hose and wingtip shoes. Now I should wear a white white Tuxedo Shirt with a black bowtie since this is a formal affair right? Instead of a white dress shirt and black tie? Also my sporran is a very nice black leather one, it that ok to use or should I go for a dressier one?

I would try to find hose that matches or is close to your kilt's Black Watch. You might try to track down Hawick Sock Company. Or you could wear red and white or other diced hose to continue the military theme of the Black Watch tartan.

Black wing tips might be acceptable, but this could be an opportunity to get a pair of black ghillie brogues.
