Dress Code - "Smart Casual"
So (Ladies and Gents).....
The dress code says 'Smart Casual', it's an evening do (something like a post-reception wedding do), this time of year, indoors, mostly people you don't know.
What do you wear? How 'dressy' do you go?

Re: Dress Code - "Smart Casual"
To me, smart casual means anything except paint spattered jeans with rips in the knees and/or backside...

Re: Dress Code - "Smart Casual"
To me, smart casual mean "no jeans/shorts/combats, no t-shirts"; for example, chinos and a polo shirt/collared shirt, or non-suit trousers and collared shirt.

Re: Dress Code - "Smart Casual"
All I'll say is read the invitation properly and bear in mind the following words of wisdom from Viz...
Mourners - read the dress code instructions on funeral invitations very carefully. Sombre, whilst being only 2 letters away from sombrero, is a world apart in tone.

None Chavy
I think you know what i mean.
- manky old trainers
- tracksuit or ideally full on shell suit
- cap
- silly socks
- lots and lots of chunky, shiny bling - the shinier the better
And there you have it, you are a chav

I think shoes (no apostrophe thank you) should be worn definitely. Barefoot is not a good look for smart, casual or smart casual.

Understand your viewpoint, but if the invite is to someone else's party/function, surely one meet their standards, for their sake?
