Then why have a do's and don'ts thread? The purpose of this thread was to highlight the mistakes of others so that anyone; member or guest websurfer, could see how not to wear Scottish attire. It was also meant to illistrate what proper dress looked like. The example that was sited showed a whole sampler of incorrect dress. Would you also defend someone wearing tennis shoes, ball cap with a tux? There comes a time when fashion and taste are not being shown and it all boils down to ignorance on the part of the wearer. The spirit of this post is to help educate those who read it. If every fashion mistake should be taken as "my own style", why even bother with this board. If a new member asks how something should be worn/done, perhaps we should just tell them to do/wear it whatever way they like.. after all it would be their own personal style.
