HIGHLAND WEAR

In recent times, Highland Wear has witnessed a growth in popularity at weddings, and Grooms and the other male members of the Wedding Party are now having to field more and more ‘what’s under your kilt?’ questions than ever before!

But before we go any further, it is important to address one of the age old questions about Highland Regalia that we are constantly asked – ‘can anyone wear it?’

In short, yes, anyone is entitled to wear Highland Regalia for their wedding regardless of whether they are Scottish or not. Furthermore, the wearer is not restricted to a particular tartan, although it is traditional to wear the tartan of one’s ancestral clan (if there is one) – for those without an ancestral clan, there are modern alternatives (such as the Grey Spirit) and approved tartans (such as the Royal Stewart) which you could opt for instead. We will look at some popular tartan options a little later in the article, but for now that should be enough to put your mind at ease.

Aside from Highland Wear, there are three other categories of men’s formal Wedding attire; Morning Wear, Evening Wear and Military Wear. You can find articles on both Morning Wear and Evening Wear on Weddingsday, which take an in-depth look at the various choices and styles open to you – both are well worth a look (but only after you have read this article of course!).
