Formal Dress - Kilt with Jacket? Yes or no.

[frostwalker]

My husband wants to bring his kilt with jacket/tie for formal night on our Alaska cruise.

 

Has anyone done this before? Or done this before?

 

Thoughts in general?

[Ma Bell]

Yes, it is done.

I would say a Big YES ... How refreshing this would be..Looks formal to me.. I have Scotish blood in my veins...Tell your DH to go for it, I'm sure he will look fantastic..Sharon..

Seen it and like it. It will work just fine.

Have seen it many times. Looks fabulous. But what's he wearing under that kilt? LOL

[terri23]

but remind him it may be windy on deck, and to choose his undergarments accordingly ;)

The key is that he wants to do it, so I would say go for it.

It depends on the personality and comfort level of the individual.

For men who enjoy standing out and attracting attention, that is a great way to dress on formal nights. Those who prefer to be inconspicuous and blend in with the majority would probably feel more comfortable wearing a regular suit.

DH is def' the type to say "I takes me chances!" when it comes to the wind while wearing a kilt! :eek:

 

And its not like I myself in certain dresses haven't opted for the same...sometimes it just looks better/smoother! :p

Have sailed several times with friends from Edinburgh and he always wears his kilt and jacket on formal nights. Looks mighty fabulous too.;)

Def, my husband wore his kilt on our last cruise and will again in 4 weeks time.

My husband wears his kilt on the Caribbean cruises as it just looks so different and is always appreciated by the Americans, however the whole outfit, kilt, jacket, shoes etc., does take up a lot of your luggage allowance so factor that in to it as well if you are only allowed 20kgs!

[pmsdebbie]

By all means...wear the kilt. It looks so elegant and handsome!!:D

Ask Celebrity Man to send you a picture. He looked great on the Millennium to Alaska 2009.

[Lois R]

Another yes.:) I have seen many men wear their Kilts and absolutely,

they look very handsome:)

[Patsfan3]

Love it!!!!

I plan on bringing hubby's kilt, his ghillie brogues and flashes, and maybe a tie - and renting the tux kit (jacket & shirt) on the ship, that way it'll take up less room. :)

[Host Anne]

Another YES here! I have a wonderful photo of Madlotusgirl's hubby surrounded by women on formal night! :)

 

ENJOY!

You've reminded of a banquet years ago. We had a Scotsman in full regalia, including formal kilts.

So in the middle of the dinner I stood up and said, "Gordon, there's a lady up here that wants to know what's worn beneath Kilts?"

 

He replied, "Oh Scotty, I'm glad you asked that question. Nothing is WORN...it's all in PERFECT WORKING ORDER".:p

[CelebrityMan]

Awww..., thanks YVRcruiser!!

 

You asked, I'm happy to oblige:

Obviously, I take mine along. I have left it home on various Caribbean sailings..., after all they are 8 yards of wool, and who needs that in the tropics. Hehehehehe.

It's greyt! I'm a "Mac" and I think it's wonderful.

 

Enjoy!

[Moomintroll]

A definite YES to the kilt, but perhaps with a little more class than this chap! (not sure the accessible portion of the martini bar was designed with this use in mind...!)

[CelebrityMan]

...I'll never be able to go to the S-Class Martini Bar ever again without wondering.... :eek:

[tartantiara]

My D.H. always wears his full kilt outfit even in the Caribbean. I think he secretly enjoys all the attention he usually gets.;)

[TMLAalum]

Oh please... how inapropiate!

 

Then you won't want me to share the joke told me by our tour guide in Scotland about what's under the kilt:D.....It's gruesome!
