Gaelic Garb for the Laddies
Any male guest wishing to incorporate some Celtic flavour into his wedding
attire has options ranging from subtle Celtic accessories to a full fledged
kilt package, including kilt, fly plaid, Prince Charlie jacket, sporran,
sgian dhubh, kilt hose and flashes, and ghillie brogues. It just depends
upon your budget. But, please remember, a kilt is an investment.
A well made and properly cared for kilt can last a lifetime, and is always
an appropriate outfit at any wedding for formal function. And, unlike a
tuxedo, a kilt can be dressed up or dressed down, depending on how it is
accessorized, which makes it appropriate for the most formal as as more
casual events. For example, the same kilt looks as good with sandals and a
t-shirt at a picnic as it does with a formal jacket and dress shoes at a
wedding.
A variety of jacket styles are appropriate to wear on formal occasions with
a kilt. These include a number of Scottish-style jackets, such as the popular
Prince Charlie, the Montrose, the Argyll, and the Doublet. These are most
often made in black, but can be other colours, such as hunter green, or crimson, to coordinate with various tartans. Also appropriate with the kilt are tweed jackets, and certain military uniform jackets. An excellent source of how to
wear and accessorize a kilt is So You're Going to Wear the Kilt, by J. Charles Thompson.
