I've never seen such a scruffy looking bunch in all my life, but these days it seems to be 'the norm'. The women on the other hand all looked great in their party frocks, but this 'down dressing' fad among men is really bad news. This year they've chosen a town centre 'nightspot', and judging by the photos of the place it's jeans and T shirts at the ready again, but as I'm determined to wear my kilt HOW do I wear it ? Guess I'll opt for my semi dress look, black Argyle jacket with a leather/fur sporran, but even then I'll be over dressed. Oh well, what the heck, the girls will love it - and that's all that matters I suppose.
Could always do a fleece sweatshirt, kilt, daywear sporran/belt, dark colored kilt hose, flashes, and either casual shoes, or a pair of hiking boots. With the boots, if it's cold out, keep the hose up and use the flashes, but if it's going to be somewhat mild, roll the hose down and go w/o flashes. That way, you can show your coworkers the proper way to dress casually.
