    Trying something different

    Firstly this is a picture of my wife, my niece and, my sister. That said what do you think of using a polo style T under a Braemar jacket. It gave a more casual feel I liked it I just wondered what you lads think.

    I personally like that style very much. I've long worn jackets w/ polos and trousers. Now I just have to get a kilt jacket so I can do the same w/ Kilts.

    Looks good David. It gives you a nice dressy casual look. If that makes any sense?

    I personally am not a fan of the short-sleeve shirt and jacket, but that is my preference. The pics are great, and the polo/jacket works very well for you!

    I too wear jacket/polo combo when trousered. So... this works for me! I also need a kilt length jacket in a bad way.

    If the jacket were tweed, or just grey or navy I think it would be fine. The black seems to my eyes a tad too formal for the polo.

    You said it: It's casual and thus no special rules apply. I think it looks very smart. As for the short-sleeve thing, the fancy sleeves on Argyll and Braemar jackets cover shirt cuffs anyway.

    The combo looks comfortable. Polos work great with kilts - so no problem taking your jacket off either

    I'll second that.

    Its only this year that I've discovered that polos and kilts work so well together for casual wear so I'm grateful for the idea of adding a jacket as the weather gets cooler. I like the semi-casual effect it creates.
