Dont say we never did anything for you: Fashion Tip: Dress Code Dress CodeThis fashion tip is for all the guys out there that get clammy hands when they read Dress Code instructions on an invitation... Casual =Youre free to go as you please; shorts, jeans, t-shirts, flip flops...what ever makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. But dont over-dress - casual never means a suit; and never wear an item of clothing with a stain on it - thats just gross. Smart-casual = Ah, the paradoxical dress code most men dread...the rules here are unspoken but held in high regard. A button-up collared shirt is compulsory, a jacket is optional, and any kind of sports trainer is definitely not welcome. Traditionally trousers apply to smart-casual; these days you can wear jeans, but they should be a dark wash and without any sand-blasting, rips or distressing effects on the denim; essentially if they are clean and fitted like a trouser, just made out of denim, theyll pass. However old school establishments, like a golf club or university, may still play by the old rules; which include no jeans what so ever, so a good idea would be to call ahead and ask the concierge whats expected. Smart =This means a suit, a button-up collared shirt, and maybe even a tie. Smart shoes are essential, so get the polishing kit out if the leather needs some attention.Black tie =All of the above - plus a bow tie or a tie, as a more casual option. This is the smartest of all dress codes; so make sure your suit is dry-cleaned, and your shirt is well ironed with a crisp collar. Shoes should look immaculate, so polish them till they shine!
