A simple plain black belt with a chrome pronged buckle would, again, be more suited to your environment, and to the time of day. But then, as Wompet rightly points out, I am seeing you with British eyes not American ones!
Ham, you, my wife, and the ladies at work! I am brow beaten at every turn!

Seriously, I think that the worst part of the shirt is the blue striping on the sleeves and collar, other than that, it is a plain medium gray polo shirt. I also considered twice before wearing it, but decided that I could get away with it once! The belt is a problem for me. It is a Stillwater that I picked up for a good price on eBay. I am not by nature a flashy person, so the buckle was less than well received and the belt is actually too large (waist not width). I did like wearing a belt with the USAK semi-trad. I think it is the perfect accessory, and I found that the kilt just rode better with a belt. I did manage to find a wide leather belt with a standard buckle, and a tooled design on the belt, at Target today that should the perfect accessory for casual/informal occasions. The hardest part in putting together a nice outfit (besides only having 5 kilts available!) is what is preceived as formal vs. informal attire. I am actually going to start a thread on that regarding jackets.

Thanks for the input.
