My wife and I were given tickets to a local Burns Night for this January 19th. Attire is listed as "semi-formal". In standard U.S. Garb, that would mean a suit, or at least jacket and tie. My question is regarding kilted wear for the evening.

I have a casual Bear Kilt, cut at the "jeans waist", not the true waist, so I don't think an Argyll Jacket is going to look good. (Couldn't get one at this late date anyway, but there's nothing I can do about that.) Renting a kilt is not economically feasible, either.

Will my suit jacket and a collared shirt with a tie that matches the colors in my kilt work? If not, I'm going to end up wearing a suit, I think. I'd much rather wear my kilt, but I don't want to look completely out of place or anything. I also don't want to violate some dress code.

Thoughts? And thank you.
