That's good.
Like many things in life, these things are down to personal choice, experience and is just a matter of degree really. Many traditional Highlanders would be more than happy to wear a tattersall shirt or small gingham checks to a Highland games, Clan gathering, to lunch, going to town, and perhaps some business meetings, or even a quiet dinner with the wife--that sort of thing. So a fair range. I think that for example,a graduation,or, a wedding of the slightly more formal kind than yours in the back yard(I hope you don't mind me putting it that way!) then perhaps a plain shirt, or narrow and subdued Bengal stripes may well be the choice of many.Generally speaking, the white shirt is kept for funerals and smarter weddings.
