What is this "semi-formal" thing?
As this wedding is in Scotland, this also applies to the rest of the UK too. Formal(dress) day-wear is the morning suit= Kilt equivalent, black barathea silver buttoned argyll. Formal (dress) evening wear= PC, etc...
There is no such thing as semi-dress(semi-formal) in the UK. A lounge suit is a lounge suit and a tweed day jacket is the kilt equivalent and is not considered as "formal" or even "semi-formal"-------just, smart.. A beaten up up thirty year old tweed day jacket is, I suppose, a sports jacket equivalent. Although, I don't think there is really a kilt equivalent to a sports jacket.
