1 Kilt 10 Looks : A Visual Guide to Formality in Highland Attire

[thescot]

Actually, Slackerdrummer, though you said, "These gents have all shown up for a black tie affair (albeit in the country) in jeans, barefoot, sandals, and Wellies. . . ," they are in fact likely well-paid models who showed up for a photo shoot for a magazine. Real people rarely dress like models in faddish magazines and on glitzy TV shows, and I doubt one should even think of attending an event dressed like that if the invitation clearly says, "Black Tie."

And . . . saving and financial wherewithal truly are not the same things; the first is how one overcomes the second. I know some very well-turned-out wearers of highland attire who are not well-off at all. They do, however, practice many of the points proposed by Dave Ramsey, so the answer from McMurdo was an appropriate bit of advice for those without the wherewithal to rush out and purchase items of clothing.

And I really don't think there's any "lambasting" going on, but there you are. I did, though, think that anyone here would understand that a kilt is highland attire without having to state the same.

Oh, well. Drinks are on me. I think I'll don my highland attire kilt and choose a look for the evening.
