Aye. My part of the World is about as casual as you can get. I got to liking my semi-trads so well sold off some casuals to buy the same tartan in semi-trad.

Wear my semi-trads hiking, on the river, out on the rezlands, to work...most versatile and still look like a kilt.

Fine to start with casuals to save money, but if you ever buy a semi-trad you'll be wanting more. Try one of each, then decide where to go for more.
