    Tweed or sweater?

    There is a local Burns Night supper coming up. I've heard it's quite casual so I don't have any real fears of upsetting anyone, but...... Since I don't yet have an Argyle, or PC, would a grey tweed be sufficient, or should I bring it down to a jumper and tie?

    cheers,

    Kirk

    What have people worn in previous years? If it is really informal I would go with the sweater, if people dress up in suits and dresses I would go with the tweed.

    I have a question, is the tweed a kilt jacket? If it is a regular sport coat I would say the sweater.

    Agreed. Does the sponsoring organization have any photos posted from previous years?

    A sweater would be casual, so would a jacket/shirt without tie.
    Personally, I see nothing wrong with argyll jacket & vest with a tie as casual dress. Casual dress is somewhat undefined. Anything from t shirt & flip flops to full tweed & tie can be casual, depending on group standards. I agree with Griz & Dale, if youre in doubt.
