bonnet advice, not kilt advice

I think the challenge is with trying to blend "outdoors" where a hat is frequently worn with "formal evening wear" where one is never worn. I would opt for shade or sunscreen if necessary, and forgo the bonnet if at all possible Phil.

Kilt + Balmoral =OK
PC + Balmoral = I just don't know. (Blue and Green should never be seen, unless there is something in between.)

I suppose in the end it comes down to this - no one will question you. So, go for it!

I disagree entirely. The balmoral and PC look fine together.

My personal preference would be to forego the bonnet entirely since you will be in Highland evening attire, but if I had to make a decision, my choice would be a Balmoral.

Cheers,

Agreed!

With two Marines in consensus, that makes it law...
