Are those formal items too formal for the afternoon?

If so, what would the rabble recommend? I don't have an argyll or braemar jacket for that next "dress-up" step down. I have the usual indestructible blue blazer, some suit jackets and then sweaters.

Help me.
Afternoon tea... it's before six, so no PC. If you don't want to wear a suit, I would suggest going with a nice shirt and tie, along with a dark sweater vest.
