Ok, here is my first attempt at incorporating some of the very helpful comments that you guys have been kind enough to give...


I switched out the plain white shirt with a patterned one, the plain wool tie with a striped one (admittedly the knot sucks, I'm really going to have to work on that four-in-hand), the "chunky" shoes were swapped out for a pair of thinner soled dress shoes and I pulled the kilt hose down a bit (hopefully not too far). I'm going to order a pair of self-tie garters, because after looking into them a bit more, they really do look cool. I had decided on using sporran hangers as I would be considered a "gentleman of substance" (love that term by the way), but am also looking into a sporran belt as well.
