Suspenders/Bowties and Feet

[Chas]

You can sew the buttons on your self - on the inside of the kilt.
Move the front two 'outboard' as much as you can and stitch only to the under apron. With waistcoat (or jumper) is better.

Selftie bow ties are OK. Pre-tied are the work of the Devil and should be taken out and burned in a public place. Bow tie with a 4 or 5 button waist coat is best. Without the waistcoat, shows an awful lot of stomach. If a man has even the smallest of paunch, it will look like a prize winning beer barrel - not a good look.

Sneakers, Hmm. The expression 'college kids out after curfew' comes to mind. I don't like the look. A nice pair of suede dessert boots has more of an adult look. The Hush Puppy look.
