'Business Casual'?
Discussion
Got my first day in a new job on Monday and have been advised the office dress code is 'Business Casual".
My last employer didn't really define the dress code per say but did allow smart jeans and shirts unless customer facing when you be suited and booted.
So having looked into what business casual is it seems its a complete minefield with many different interpretations ranging from smart jeans and shirt through to wearing a suit and just taking the tie off.
I was thinking along the lines of smart shirt, dark blue chinos and suede desert boots.
What would your interpretation be?
Ta.

Where I am now its suit without jacket (Gov Ministry), where I was before (Well IT consultancy) it was suit without jacket or tie (so suit like trousers and a proper shirt).
What's the organisation?
Suggestion is you go with first of these above on your first day and see what everyone else wears.

You really won't go wrong if you follow the example set by any of the gentlemen in this dandy's blog

Its a multinational FMCG Brand
I work for one of those.In the UK we mostly wear smart trousers (not chinos), proper shoes (not desert boots) and a formal shirt without tie.
Venture out of the UK to our other offices, though, and it's a startling array of fully suited and booted, metro-european (lots of pastel sweaters and chinos) and jeans with shirts or even t-shirts.
