Wearing of Trews...to black tie affair.

[Jock Scot]

A variation on Peter's first rate advice, particularly if you are wearing braces, is to wear a black low cut 3 button waistcoat and dinner jacket instead of a cummerbund . That way the braces are hidden.

George boots may not be easily come by, over your side of the pond, so well polished thin soled black Chelsea boots will get you by.
