context_page_description: Highland dress is the traditional, regional dress of the Highlands and Isles of Scotland. It is often characterised by tartan. Specific designs of shirt, jacket, bodice and headwear may also be worn along with clan badges and other devices indicating family and heritage.
  Men's highland dress typically includes a kilt or trews of his clan tartan, along with either a tartan full plaid, fly plaid, or short belted plaid. There are a number of accessories, which may include but are not limited to: a belt, sporran, sgian-dubh, knee-socks with a cuff known as kilt hose, garters, kilt pins and clan badges.
  Women's highland dress is also based on the clan tartan, either that of her birth clan or, if married, that of her spouse's clan if she so chooses. Traditionally, women and girls do not wear kilts but may wear ankle-length tartan skirts, along with a colour-coordinated blouse and vest. A tartan earasaid, sash or tonnag may also be worn, usually pinned with a brooch, sometimes with a clan badge or other family or cultural motif.
context_section_description: The Highland dress may also be worn as folk costume option at events requiring morning dress. As such, for formal day wear use it generally consists of:
  Men:
  Plain superfine wool or barathea black, charcoal or tweed Argyll-, Crail-, and Braemar-style kilt jacket
  Belt and buckle or five- or six-button waistcoat in matching grey, putty, complementary or tartan material in matching colour
  Kilt
  White shirt with turndown collar, French cuffs, and cufflinks
  Long tie in a single colour or striped regimental style
  Black brogues (according to some views, brown shoes should never be worn with highland dress, although such are worn by the royals)
  Tartan, Argyle, diced, or plain coloured dark hose (white and off-white hose should be avoided)
  Flashes or garter ties
  Day or horse hair sporran
  Morning dress sgian-dubh (less intricate than for the full dress and typically made of horn or antler).
