IDEAL v. BUDGET

[Jock Scot]

I'm here to get advice, as my tastes are suspect (even from my own POV); so, I'll not give any. So, of course, I have one question: In addition to a sweater as an alternative choice, casual evening can include the tweed jackets and/or the black argyll (without the ties and waistcoats) as a sports-jacket equivalent? BTW, I appreciate everyone's input.

If one were invited to "supper" as opposed to "dinner" a tweed argyll(waistcoat optional depending mainly on the season) and tie would be the norm. When we have house guests that are friends, the dress for informal supper and drinks, or even a call in for a chat, the tweed argyll(and waistcoat) and tie is worn. For your information,for breakfast, a pullover,shirt sleeves(grrr),or argyll are worn and these days no tie(grrr) seems to be worn. In warmer climes I can, however, see the point of minor adjustments to one's attire.
