Sporran and Shoe Color
This is of course related to a wedding outfit, but I'm running into an issue I haven't encountered in my kilting adventures yet.
We have good friends getting married in November and, with their enthusiastic endorsement, I'm attending the wedding in a kilt. It's an afternoon wedding, so it will be Argyle jacket and waistcoat with tie rather than PC. They encourage fall colors, and specifically are asking guests not to wear green as it will be part of the wedding party attire, so I have a Glen Affric kilt on order, which I think is a beautiful tartan and also perfect for fall. I plan to pair that with a dark khaki tweed jacket and waistcoat and burgundy hose.
Here's where the question comes in. I think with the overall color palate it will look very nice to have a brown sporran instead of the more common black. My ghillie brogues are of course black. In modern suiting it would be a terrible mistake to mix black shoes with a brown belt, but does the same apply with shoes and sporran for a kilt outfit? I have brown wingtips I could wear for a better match, but also really like ghillie brogues with a kilt. Not only do I want to honor the kilt by wearing everything correctly, but I also want to honor our friends by looking my best for their wedding. Advice from the rabble will be most appreciated!
