I have a dinner coming up where I will be one of many guests of honor. It is an evening event and the Saxon dress code is dark suit and tie and kilts are encouraged. I will be wearing a BBSBA, matching 5-button waistcoat and white shirt with my kilt. The tie I want to wear is black with gold emblems. With that base in mind, I have a few questions:

  1. I will buy new hose for this event. I was thinking dark green or dark blue. Thoughts?
  2. If I were to try and match my tie, I would go with black or gold flashes. My wife can make either of those. I already have green and red. Black? Gold? Another color?
  3. I only own white pocket squares. Do I go with white, none, or buy a black or gold one to match tie/flashes/?


I know I'm being matchy-matchy here but this is the first "official" event that I will have worn Highland dress to and I want to make a good impression. Thanks.
