Asking for advice (a bunch of pictures included)

I like the saffron and the polo and the Jets shirt and the Ireland tartan. I'm not a fan of Jacobite shirts at all, but I think it goes better with the Ireland tartan.

I kind of agree.... I like the Jacobite.. more suited in correct time and place... Tartan Day and the workshop probably isn't.

I would wear the Irish National with the black polo. On the shoes I have no clue it would depend on what you already have. I wear my boots with my kilts a lot. If I know I am walking a lot I just wear walking shoes. It doesn't look great with a kilt but hey I am comfortable and it is passing enough.

The ghillie broughes were put on and I wasn't going to take them off... I believe I have some shoes that might fit the bill.

Where are the concert and workshop being held?

Thanks

The workshop is up in Saratoga Springs hosted by the Oran Mor Pipe Band‏.

I tend to think of gillie brogues as a dress shoe otherwise all your combos look good. My vote would be for the saffron and golf shirt look as I believe it would work in all situations that you mentioned. If you have a pair of nice casual shoes that is all I would change.

Agreed.. and thanks!

As I'm not overly fond of plain coloured kilts, I'd say the Irish National kilt for both instances; with the Jets shirt and casual/comfortable shoes for the workshop and the black polo with Ghillies for the cocktails. Leave the Jacobite for Renn Faires

Cocktail parties are usually fancier fare than a tshirt...

I'd say for a cocktail party I may go a wee bit more dressed up than this, I would suggest that ghillie brogues are not really needed with an outfit like this they seem to me to be out of place, also you may want to wear darker hose if you have any.

McM, I understand the sentiment, though I don't believe it's a 'cocktail party' per se.. more like happy hour in the hotel bar. The darker hose is on order. I only posses my piper's hose at this time.

To all so far.. thanks for the input!
