Hello all. I am a noob in the kilted world and i am trying to get everything in order. I purchased my first (only one at this time) kilt in black watch. I have ecru, black, oatmeal and bottle green hose. A new charcoal grey waistcoat, black shoes, and black sporran.

My question- is it ok or acceptable to go out without a jacket? I have not purchased one yet but am planning on a charcoal grey tweed. Until that day comes- my outfit will be very casual (polos/ tshirts), sweater, or button up and tie, or button up/ tie and waistcoat.

I wont be going to any functions that are black tie but more like dinner dayes with the wife. I want to look good and be comfortable but at the same time i want to be a good kilted example.

I have thumbed through so many threads but none really address my question. I also looked at the 1 kilt 10 looks thread.
Any guidance would be appreciated!

And yes i am trying to fight the matchy matchy look! But the bottle green gose look great with the black watch!
