As mentioned above, in traditional Highland dress there's no "semi-dress" category. Traditional civilian Highland dress is divided into Day Dress and Evening Dress.

I don't know about "rules" but there are traditions. Formal occasions call for Evening Dress, and all the things that go with it, if one is to follow the tradition.
For non-formal things one would wear Day Dress including all the things that go with that.
With many people these traditions are not being followed. There's no law, it's just tradition and fashion.
