Quoting shadows and dust from 22:56, 11th Sep 2007
It's undeniable that the majority of students live in jeans and hoodies...that said, St Andrews is the kind of place where you could walk down the street in a clown suit and people probably wouldn't bat an eye-lid. Personally although I also live in jeans I've been known to wear dresses and high-heeled boots just to go to class so go with how you feel. It's better to be yourself

Does this matter at all???

A bit off the original topic, but worthy nonetheless....what's the dress code for things like balls and ceilidhs? Should we chaps lug bags of bow ties and dinner jackets up to St Andrews, or would a standard suit or even civvies be acceptable?
What's the form?

Well, you'd want to be in a good dark suit at the very least, but my advice would definitely be to bring your dinner jacket if you have one. At balls and ceilids, almost everyone comes in black tie, and if you have your own rather than having to hire it there are so many other opportunities to wear them too, such as at debates and High Table.
BESS clothing is very popular, yess - rarely does a day go by when you don't see somebody wearing it.
To the OP: bravo! I'm sure you'll look great, and fit in perfectly well; individuality is rife in St Andrews, but if your taste happens to run to the more-classy-than-average, so much the better, I'd say.
