HIGHLAND WEAR

For those of you in the Armed Forces, whilst you may of course opt for Morning, Evening or Highland Wear, we are well aware that many of you will stay true to the traditional formal dress uniform of your regiment and you should already be well aware what this entails. In 2007, an article entitled ‘Something Different’ will be published on the site and will cover everything from the smart-casual beach wedding attire through to the weird and wonderful outfits that some of you may be interested in turning up in on the day – for now though you will have to make do with your imagination!

Trousers (including tartan ones), waistcoats and other extras needed to complete the look are covered in the article entitled ‘Essential Extras’ and for those of you wanting to know more about sporrans, skean dhu’s, and flashes that will complement the look, check out the article entitled ‘Finishing Touches’.

Now, back to Highland Wear. There are three main types of outfit (defined by what is worn on top – it is taken as a given that kilts will accompany the jacket, although trousers can be worn instead) that fall within the Highland Wear category, two of which are of the formal variety whilst the other is a little more relaxed. The three types are:

·         Prince Charlie Jacket

·         Argyll Jacket

·         Ghillie Shirt
