As far as I am aware dress tartans are/were worn for formal dress occasions. Not all Clans have a dress tartan, but I do know that male MacLeod of Harris Clan tartan wearers used to (perhaps still do?) wear kilts of the Macleod of Lewes, aka loud MacLeod, for formal events. My Grandfather used to, as well as some of my uncles. From what I remember, those kilts were made of a lighter weight cloth. I am not sure if anyone bothers these days.
