Kiltify me!

Great basic advice there,the only observation that I would make, is the tweed Argyll,with/without waistcoat is the most versitile outfit you can get. It is worn to NEARLY ALL weddings here, apart from the most formal, where a black barathea,silver buttoned Argyll would be worn.

Just to clarify what I meant about tweed Argylls being worn to weddings here. Nearly all weddings are a day time event,actually I have never been to an evening wedding----I am not sure if they exist in the UK, anyway, kilted guests would wear a Tweed Argyll and probably a waistcoat and in the Highlands so would the groom and his officers. I will add that the groom,best man and his ushers will wear the tartan of their choice and not necessarily have matching tartans.

It seems that there is a trend,these days, for the groom(only) to be dressed in a Black barathea,silver buttoned Argyll. So far,here at least, the fly plaid and white hose brigade are being kept at bay.

For the most formal of formal of weddings the kilted guests will wear the black silver buttoned Argyll,if they have one, or the tweed which nearly everyone has. No one gives a second thought,thank goodness, about which Argyll jacket any one else is wearing. The groom and his officers for this formal event could well all be dressed in a Montrose with all the bells and whistles attached. I stress that this kind of wedding is a very,very rare event.

This is a great thread and I hope others will be encouraged to ask questions about kilt attire, as I am sure, starting out in the kilt world is none other than daunting.
