There is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with wearing a PV kilt in a formal situation. As long as your shoes are shined, your finger nails clean, your hair is combed, and you aren't wearing white socks, you'll be fine. Don't have a PC? Don't worry. A black Argyll will do fine. What? No Argyll? Okay, a Crail (or similar), blazing white shirt and dark tie will do just as well. The point is to make YOUR BEST EFFORT to be well dressed. If you haven't got everything right now, well, you will probably have it eventually and any gentleman in the room will understand that. And not care. No gentleman ever thinks ill of another gentleman whose means limit his wardrobe. What gentlemen do resent are those ill-mannered louts that refuse to make the effort.

So, wear your best and enjoy the evening.
