The trouble with "casual wear" is that it doesn't mean "slovenly wear" and a lot of folks confuse the two. As a school administrator, a casual day for me meant that I wore the same trousers, shoes, shirt and tie as usual, but a high quality jumper/ pullover sweater in place of a jacket.

I believe the only job-saving term is what they might call "smart casual" these days.
In kilt terms, I think it probably means a proper tartan kilt (8 or 5 yd) sporran, hose, garters, dress shoes, and a tattersall type shirt.
