With all this talk on another thread about dressing for the occasion I feel I need to ask this question. A little background to go with the question.
When in grammar school I was required to wear a tie although a suit coat or sport coat was not required. My first civilian jobs after the Navy required me to wear a suit and tie, and my last job before retiring did not require a tie but I usually wore one as did many others.
Now I have no reason to wear a tie but every so often (2 or 3 times a month) when I wear one of my kilts I like to dress it up with a tie and jacket. Not for any reason but just for the enjoyment of it. (is that weird?) I will probably just wander around town for a while and then stop into one of my favorite pubs for a drink and friendly conversation before heading home. Invariably I will be the only one in jacket and tie at the pub.
I understand that I am actually overdressed for the pub but am I wrong in doing this?
