untraditional traditions

[davidlpope]

As an example, Brogues/wingtips are dress shoes and will not be chosen for truly casual occasions, whether a kilt is worn or not!

Actually, brogues/wingtips are not dress shoes. They're traditionally country shoes, but have been mis-adopted by many men as appropriate for business dress. In this way they're similar to "button-downs", which were designed to be worn open-necked while one played polo, not while wearing a tie (despite Brooks Brothers having made a killing of of selling them to new college grads for interviews!). All that being said, both these items are now "traditions" "more honored in the breach than the observance."
