Jewddha, a brown kilt with a kilt belt, nice sporran, tie, dress shirt, and shoes would be somewhat formal, and for a high school function might be acceptable, unless the others at the table are going to be in tie, tails, and formal white dress shirt. If the others at the table are going to be wearing jackets of any kind, then you really need to match that, even if they are in formal jackets and you are in a dark tweed or black argyll jacket. There is no way you could pull off a formal look without a jacket.

Just my 2 cents!
