Smart Business Casual

On a management course next week, dress code is "smart business casual". WTF is that?

 

I usually wear combat/cargo pants/shorts, t-shirt, fleece and adidas trainers for work.

 

Only time I wear a suit is weddings, funeral, yearly trade NEC exhibition and court appearances.

 

TIA

Where would one buy chinos anyway? Talibs shut ages ago...

 

Last time I had a pair Joe Le Taxi was number 1.

Jeans are not business casual, they are jeans.

Bollocks.

It could depend on the industry. Ani works in finance I think, all pointy shoes, tight pants etc.

 

Theatre (?) possibly a bit more casual.

 

Bet C86 wishes he'd never asked

Fair point. Although I am of a size where everything has a bit of 'give'.

 

Jeans are total no no for us, the problem with jeans is that hard to have rule around how faded they can be and some arse always goes too casual. There are plenty of suit type trousers that are not chinos by the way.

 

Anyone who saw Finchy yesterday after about 2 o'clock would have seen jeans that were not suitable.

Yeah, fair point - it's only full suit for board meetings and conference presentations these days!

Have to wear jeans and polo in the new place. Apparently learners don't feel intimidated but it feels wrong going to work in jeans..

 

At hmv we had to wear jeans.. ive never gone full suit, I look like a convict.

Found chinos in my wardrobe from 5 years ago... Worn once!

 

Someone's in jeans!

Someone didn't understand the instruction.

Hope you brought yours for tomorrow

 

The protocols weaken by the day

Those nurses' whites? Yeah, it's not a good look for you.

Students wear white. Nurses wear light blue. However - dark blue scrubs in critical care - sets my eyes off nicely.

Very true, I've sent the course providers the URL to this thread for future reference.

That's good, I thought you had the look of 'trainee butcher' rather than qualified medic in those white scrubs.
