Just HOW many ways can an Argyll be 'Dressed Up'?

[Jock Scot]

There are two types of argyll, tweed which I would consider as informal(up to suit equivalent) regardless of colour including black.

The second species of argyll is the black(can be other colours)barathea mainly, although velvet is another popular option, with silver buttons. The barathea version is usually worn with a white shirt and four-in-hand tie for formal day wear(morning suit equivalent).

However, with a three button waistcoat and appropriate shirt it works very well with a black tie. These options make the argyll the most versatile kilt jacket there is.

A kilt belt without the waistcoat is a perfectly sound procedure, although I prefer to see a brass buckle for informal day wear and not a dress buckle plate, which is of course used for the formal day wear and evening dress occasions if required.

I am not a fan of cummerbunds when worn with the kilt, but it is done.
