Tartan and plain coloured kilt socks to co-ordinate with your kilt and of course the kilt flashes to go with them.

Whether you are going to a Scottish wedding as a groom, usher or guest, we have all of the essentials to ensure you are properly suited and booted for a wedding in Scotland. Made in Scotland, our plaid wedding clothing and accessories for men, including the classic kilt and plaid suit, can be custom made in your choice of over 500 plaids or they can be readily purchased from the stock range in popular plaids.
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!
