I was going to say, see what it looks like if you loose the tie and jacket. If it's a semi casual/formal event you'll still look dressy, but not overstated. The way I look at it is, the kilt in itself is enough to draw attention to you as "dressed" if you'll excuse the pun and if you're in full gear, you may just look way too out of place. Just my opinion as I live in a somewhat redneck town myself.
