Allow me to make another jeans/kilt parallel, this time a bit lower down the formality scale. Here are two pics from casual dinners, one in jeans, the other in a kilt. I'm wearing a tattersall shirt in both cases and no jacket, vest, or sweater because not only were the events low key, the temperature was also quite warm! I know a solid colour kilt is not too common in THCD, but it does happen e.g. hodden grey or tweed kilts.
At a casual event that was a bit colder, I'd just throw on a sweater, like so:
Looking back at this thread has made me realize a few things that I need to do to tweak this "less is more" approach. I'd like to acquire a charcoal tweed jacket with matching waistcoat and replace my AWOL plain leather sporran. I also need to start using flashes again because of their flatter profile vs. garter ties.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me in regards to how I can streamline my Highland attire, while still keeping it traditional? How about ways that this thread may have inspired you in your own approach to Highland attire?
