What to wear to a Ceilidh?

[Stratherrick]

The tie and the pullover may be discarded as things warm up!

Which reminds me, it also depends on the setting!

Midsummer in Texas is one thing, no doubt. Midwinter in the Cairngorms is quite another, for sure!

I agree with JockScot. A ceilidh by definition is an informal affair and one would dress (down) accordingly. Any other event would be a dance, which again by definition would be slightly more formal. If there was a meeting or dinner followed by dancing, this would be usually be advertised as a dance, rather than a ceilidh.

But as in all things on Scottish dress, you wear what you wish whilst observing some of the basic protocols.
