What qualifies as business casual?

We essentially have a "smart casual" dress code at work (although with a premise that if we need to meet a client we need to be able to change into a suit).

Smart casual means a shirt needs to have a collar, trousers must not be light blue jeans or military fatigues etc. I noticed that men have problems much more often than women with non-formal dress codes, too.

Do people commonly go to work in military fatigues in Poland?  :hmm:

No, but one guy did so they had to spell it out. :P

Hm.  I've always looked at business casual as a button down long sleeve shirt (I always feel like a complete tool wearing tucked in polo shirts or short sleeve button down shirts outside of uniform type shit), non pleated pants that aren't jeans (khakis and such), and some sort of closed toe shoes that aren't sneakers or clog type sandals or something (not necessarily dress shoes). 

Maybe a tie if I feel like it.

That joke might work better if he didn't splatter photos of himself in civvies all over the forum.

I wear a Company issued polo + jeans to work. There isn't a dress code here, it's just the easiest way.

My cheapass company has stopped giving those out.  You can still get them, but you have to pay for one now.  :rolleyes:

I had a really nice polo shirt from one of our software vendors, but the dog jumped up on me and ripped it.  :mad:

Well, they've cut back alot of shit like that, but on the bright side they've also not laid anyone off since the economic downturn.  :cool:

I don't mind casual wear, but there is always some fucktards that come in wearing Hawaiian shirts, flip-flops, exposed midriffs and my latest pet peeve, pajama bottoms.

I'm MANAGEMENT, not a lowly supervisor. Get my exalted rank correct.
