    Fantastic look!

    I'm sure the compliments were sincere. You deserve to feel proud.

    Very smart indeed, Robin, and a nicely balanced and colour-co-ordinated image you present.

    A Golf Club event like that, here in the UK, would probably have been a black-tie 'do', in which case I should have been very wary of wearing the green tie and hose (which here, are essentially 'day wear'), and with a Dress sporran. However, if the invitation stated "lounge suit", I'd have been very comfortable in wearing what you did, and so successfully. Well done.

    Overhere the black-tie is almost an endangered species (a pitty...a crime), most think they're well dressed when they wear a tie with whatever horrific combination you can think of.

    The dress code went completely down the drain...very few know how to dress properly these days.

    No dress "advise" on the invitation....no black-tie, no tenue de ville, no nothing...people just do what they think is right...and that's most often not a pretty sight.

    Seen a handful of suits and that's about it...most women do much better by the way.

    Robin,

    That is a great pic! Awesome outfit. I really like the match with the hose and tie bringing out the tartan. Maybe I should know this, but what tartan is that?

    Robin,

    Great look all the way around. Well done on your "green tie" event.

    To tell the truth, the black-tie has very nearly slipped into oblivion here too - but NOT for events at such august locations as Golf Clubs. The black-tie is still very much de rigeur for dinners/receptions in establishments of that kind.

    Seen a handful of suits and that's about it...most women do much better by the way.
    Yes, on the whole the ladies DO still make a special effort to dress-up when going out for the evening, and to functions of the kind you attended. I have heard them say that it is partly because they are paying a compliment to their partners, or that they feel they owe it to their husabands. Why then do the men so often look so scruffy alongside their wives? Do they not also "owe it" to their ladies by similarly making a special effort?

    This is so evident on TV at the numerous 'Awards' ceremonies. The gals (nearly) always look dressed up and glamourous, whilst their menfolk appear to have crept out of haystacks! Tousled hair, crumpled open-neck shirts and blue jeans, delightfully set off perhaps with a Dress jacket/Tux!! Frankly, I believe they are insulting the ladies by turning up like that.

    Anyway, I am fast taking this 'off topic', which is an insult to you, Robin. I am glad your appearance was so admired and that you both had such an enjoyable evening. Congratulations again.

    Looks absolutely excellent, and you did an admirable job with the bozo as well.
