The Rules of Fashion constantly evolve.

Someone may bend or even break a rule and come up with something that works so well that it becomes the new rule.

Men's formal fashions seem to evolve at a much slower rate that casual ones.

The big point I was trying to make in the is thread that when we Ladies and Gentlemen of X Marks the Scot break with tradition it should be a deliberate choice and not ignorance.

Some of these choices are going to be bold and daring and will be successes

Some of these choices are going to look stupid and dreadful

When one leaves the path for the wilderness one never knows exactly what one will find.

A good knowledge of the conventions, guidelines, and rules of Highland fashion can at least be a compass in that unknown terrain.

Cheers

Jamie
