OK I have been lurking here for a while and joined recently to find as much as I can about highland dress. Not having any at the moment I have to admit being completely confused by what I read. My exposure to date is seeing wedding guests who all seem to wear Prince Charlie jackets, kilts, white socks and gillie brogues. Reading here, however, there seems to be an infinite degree of formality in dress, patterned socks, jackets various etc. and with such an endless variety and such seemingly rigid rules where does one start? I enjoyed the sticky about “putting it on” but have to admit being even more confused. Before I think about putting my hand in my pocket where should I start?
