Kilted attire for attending a Wedding

[Panache]

I may be wrong and Sandford must speak for himself, but I doubt that he was talking about wearing a black, silver buttoned argyll WITH BOW TIE, during the day. In the evening perhaps. I will add "during the day" to my previous contribution though.

Jock,

I misunderstood. It would seem an ascot rather than a black bow tie would be most appropriate for a morning / early afternoon wedding (groom and groomsmen).

Thinking about this further, are regular bow ties (not black satin ones designed for formal evening wear) worn with Highland Attire in Scotland?

It seems that a standard bowtie would be acceptable for a guest to wear with a tweed agryll.

Cheers

Do you know Jamie I was wondering about that myself. By standard bow tie, I assume you mean the spotted/club/regimental/university/college/old school type. I was racking my brains to see if I could recall seeing one worn with the kilt, during the day and I could not. I can't see why it should not be done though, it just seems that it isn't! Perhaps it may be regarded as just too English for most Scots to wear?

It is a point to ponder. I've never worn a bow tie with a tweed (daywear) jacket and the kilt, and I frequently wear bow ties with other dress. I've just never seen anyone wearing a bow tie with the kilt, except with evening dress. I don't know why not, but Jock's guess about it being "too English" is as good as any!
