    What I have understood of the word casual: "clothes or shoes suitable for everyday wear rather than formal occasions."

    Waiting to learn some more about English language.
    Another way to look at this, perhaps?As far as the kilt is concerned, I wear my "tank" kilts(2)-------I have no other, although I may choose to wear my older kilt for some events----, on occasion for, shooting, fishing, mowing the lawn, walking in the country, herding the occasional cow back to where it should be, weddings, funerals, black tie events and even in the past, white tie events. To my mind, by keeping the kilt constant, it is what is worn with the kilt for a particular event that makes it casual, smart or formal. Of course, there are times, particularly with advance information, where the kilt is not the best choice for the intended event.
