    I like Option 1 jacket, waistcoat, shirt, tie, kilt, but add the hose and sporran from Option 3 and let us know how it all goes.

    Agree--I prefer #1. Simple elegance.

    Regarding #2: Not a big fan of clashing tartans.

    Regarding #3: Putting a belt over a waistcoat ruins the visual line of the waistcoat.

    Just my opinions--wear what you like, or more importantly, what your lady likes!

    I prefr the kilt pin in #2 (and its verticality). That's a lovely horsehair sporran and I might consider mating it with #1. Personally, I like the red vest too, so might give that a try. Dirks seem over the top to me (I don't even wear a sgian dubh).

    *** with one suggestion that might be disagreed with----straighten up the kilt pin.

    and with the Argyll hose in #3. Simple elegance with a dash of understated splash.
