The most traditional Scottish wedding outfit for men is, of course, the kilt. This unique knee-length garment is a staple of Scotland’s national dress and a common sight at Scottish weddings. Made from wool plaid fabric, kilts are crafted in a wide variety of plaids. Typically a groom, usher or guest at a Scottish wedding will wear a kilt in the plaid of their clan, or in a colour that will fit the theme of the wedding. Accompany your kilt with an Argyll or Prince Charlie jacket and a fly plaid for full Scottish splendour.
Male guests at a Scottish wedding will often wear full Highland dress in the form of a kilt outfit. However, a full Scottish wedding kilt outfit can be a daunting prospect for men who aren’t used to Highland dress. For gentlemen who would like to celebrate in Scottish style and add a plaid twist to their outfit, a plaid or tweed suit is often the perfect Scottish wedding attire for guests. Add a single or double-breasted waistcoat, and a morning coat with tails for an extra touch of formality.
Both full Highland dress kilt outfits and plaid or tweed suits may be accompanied by a variety of traditional plaid wedding accessories. Plaid ties, cummerbunds and braces make for a distinguished look, whilst plaid cufflinks and Scottish kilt pins add an important finishing touch. For full Highland dress, Scottish wedding outfit essentials include kilt socks or hose and flashes, a sporran and a sgian dubh. Ghillie brogues are the most traditional Scottish wedding shoes for men. However if you are looking for a unique twist on a traditional classic, tartan boots may be the perfect fit.
Anyone can wear a kilt to a wedding, typically this would include the groom and his groomsmen most significantly.
Absolutely, though kilts are a symbol of Scottish heritage there are many generic and universal plaids that can be worn by those who are not Scottish - just make sure you're wearing it correctly!
