I think you look pretty sharp
I especially like how everything seems to fit you really well.
There are some nuances to this outfit, however, that could be tweaked if you are going for a really traditional Highland civilian dress (THCD) look. Some are to do with specific items, others have more to do with avoiding being overly colour coordinated aka too "matchy-matchy."
- ditch the flatcap for a Balmoral, or go bareheaded.
- get some solid colour flashes (or garter ties).
- try a shirt with a subtle pattern (i.e. tattersall, stripes, herringbone, etc), rather than stark white
- mix up your colour palette with some hose in a colour other than blue. I would go for a nice lovat green.
- as a former serviceman, it would be ideal if you could have a tie that represents your service, but a school or other association tie could also work. Barring that, you might consider an ABF tie or unaffiliated striped tie.
