...and to further James's comments, some Burns Nights will publish the dress code on their literature about the dinner -- black tie formal is usually the most common, although as James's has pointed out, some affairs are more casual these days.

At our Burns Supper, we run the gauntlet from black tie Highland formal to suits for the gents, and formal dresses, kilted skirts, sashes, etc. for the ladies.

Cheers,

Todd
