Well?

I can't really describe women's dress styles. I know what it is when I see it, but I can't define it in English.

I guess I'd be smart casual to casual (actually this job is pretty casual as long as one "fancy" item appears), although when I was strictly smart casual, we didn't call it that. I didn't know daily suit without tie was an option.

Smart casual, except no blazer shit.

Oh good call. I guess under the rubric of this poll, I'm almost always casual except for punctuated moments of business/informal.

Casual. If I want to smarten it up I'll wear some sort of shirt, though never ever would I be caught dead in a tie.

One of the rookies had watched too many of those American sales movies with the smartly dressed stock brokers too many times and showed up the first few weeks in full on dress-suit. I wish I could've seen him crawling around on the floor taking measurements of filthy cabinets in that getup.  :D

He didn't last long.

Umm, that sounds bizarre. Do housewives really perk up for new kitchens when they see you shirtless?
