Since I've only been wearing a kilt since August of last year (I will have 10 in my collection within the next 4 weeks), I need to ask you gentlemen about formal outings. Am I correct that Burns night, or Burns supper is considered a formal event?

And, for a formal event the correct attire would be: (is this right?)

1. A traditional kilt - tartan or solid (would a Stillwater standard or heavyweight pass muster? I'm thinking it would)
2. White shirt
3. Tie (long or bow)
4. Off-white or cream colored hose
5. Flashes (conservative)
6. Dress sporran
7. Dress shoes
8. Sgians Dubh (on order from Scottish Tartans Museum)
9. Jacket (Prince Charlie or Argyll)

If my list above is correct and a Stillwater standard or heavyweight makes the cut, the only thing I need is the jacket.

What about the women folk who attend these events? Should they wear a kilted skirt? Any type of jacket needed?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Darrell
