Of course we can wear what we like according to the situation and how an individual feels at the time. However the OP indicates that he would normally wear a lounge suit when going to town.
We see the thought process on this website weekly, where people won't, or are at least hesitant on deciding to wear tweed as kilt lounge/business suit equivalent because they are thinking sports jacket. A perfectly natural thought for those in London, New York, Dallas, wherever, because that is the dress culture that most come from. To my mind if you are wearing the kilt then at least wear the correct attire to suit the occasion and that is as important, more so in many ways, in London as Inverness.
Should one decide to wear the kilt and tweed kilt jacket to London, New York, Dallas, etc., one thing for certain sure will happen should one be surrounded by suits, most will be thinking kindly no doubt,; "why is that chap wearing a sports jacket?" One could spend an awful lot of time explaining should anyone be interested enough to ask. I hope they do!
