Kilt Police – Chime in Please

[Panache]

Sean,

Looking very good! Well done (a belt and a sporran can make a world of difference). My one suggestion to improve the outfit is to change the tie. You have it at a good length. But my monitor shows it as a plain black matching the argyle jacket. With the solid black jacket and the solid green kilt and hose I would go for something a little more daring. Perhaps a striped tie with either a matching green or black stripe, a patterned tie, or if solid a red tie. Just my opinion but the outfit works and looks very nice. Again, well done!

Cheers

Jamie

Kilt Police, Tartan Div. #1939 reporting:

Not tartan, but that's OK with that kilt.

The ensemble looks good together. The oatmeal hose and shirt look excellent together.
I actually LIKE the black tie with the black jacket. The only question is how the tones and sheen work together in person. A black tie is traditional with a black jacket (think "men in black" as classic suit colors).
If the colors/sheens are to different, I'd get one that matches as close as possible or get one that either matches the kilt or has a coordinating pattern.

For most weddings, the people tend to dress rather traditional (at least down here). So, I'd play it safe and wouldn't get to wild with the tie.

I think you did a great job putting that outfit together! I'm glad the kilt length worked out for you.

A couple of tweaks I would make or at least explore to see if you like them

Bring the flashes forward just a titch (1 titch = 1/2 a scosh = approximately 7 hairs). This will give a bit more color to the folk looking at you from the front.

Make sure the knot on the tie is straight and framed snuggly by the collar. I like a nice tight knot as small as you can get it, but that is hard when we have to shorten the tie so much, the knot falls at a very wide part of the tie.

You've put it all together very well, enjoy!
