Like Sports Casual,

but less sporty

thewarn | 22 Mar '07, 15:04 | X
- Ideally something that says
  
  "I'm in paris for the weekend and nothing's going to stop me"
  
  TheSoundofBastards @thewarn | 22 Mar '07, 15:08 | X
um

nothing ripped / dirty / with "outrageous" slogans.

usually when something says that, i go for a proper shirt with maybe a jumper.

guntrip | 22 Mar '07, 15:04 | X
- and nice shoes
  
  liek, not trainers
  
  chuff @guntrip | 22 Mar '07, 15:05 | X
  - yeah
    
    that as well.
    
    i don't tend to think of that cos i only wear boots..
    
    guntrip @chuff | 22 Mar '07, 15:06 | X

yo_soy_welshmun | 22 Mar '07, 15:05 | X
- I only have one outfit
  
  for all occasions - t-shirt and jeans.
  
  Unless someone dies or something

  - ...in which case you'll put some pants on, out of respect
    
    IndieAndy_Jones @devonmalcolm | 22 Mar '07, 15:07 | X

      devonmalcolm @IndieAndy_Jones | 22 Mar '07, 15:09 | X

alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:06 | X
- that might be ok.
  
  what is the job?
  
  sarkyfox @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:07 | X
  - its just training day
    
    at the fire dept hq
    im going to be canvassing for them next week

    - smart-casual fireman!
      
      flame retardant drainpipes
      peaked helmet
      steel toe-capped cons
      
      chuff @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:08 | X
- just don't wear a tie then
  
  IndieAndy_Jones @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:07 | X
- i don't think any jeans are acceptable
  
  You need smart/school trousers. You can get them from Primark for 6 quid.
  
  chuff @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:07 | X
Shirt no tie

smart trousers
shoes but not trainers.

TheSoundofBastards | 22 Mar '07, 15:06 | X
- define trainers
  
  canvas shoes ok?
  
  alcxxk @TheSoundofBastards | 22 Mar '07, 15:07 | X
  - Yeah
    
    thewarn @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:07 | X
- So, basically,
  
  normal office gear minus a tie? Nice.
  
  thewarn @TheSoundofBastards | 22 Mar '07, 15:07 | X
  - - tie + jeans
    
    keiths_tele @thewarn | 22 Mar '07, 15:08 | X
    - I think
      
      you may be able to get away with 'Chinos', (god that sounded so late 90s) shoe wise I think canvas would be ok, though NikeShoxxxxx would be out.
      
      TheSoundofBastards @keiths_tele | 22 Mar '07, 15:09 | X
  - or jacket
    
    and you probably don't have to work on "co-ordinating" so much.
    
    am i the only person who's never worked in a "smart" dress office?
    
    guntrip @thewarn | 22 Mar '07, 15:08 | X
- does it have to be an office shirt?
  
  like, a single colour one?
  or can a gingham shirt work?
  
  alcxxk @TheSoundofBastards | 22 Mar '07, 15:08 | X
  - That would be acceptable
    
    though Hawaiian shirts would be the kiss of death on any career. (Apart from maybe fat bassist in a ska-punk band, or Timmy Mallets PA)
    
    TheSoundofBastards @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:11 | X
Trousers

Shirt w/ jumper over it

^my suggestion

That shirt you have with the fancy bits on the upper chest will do fine I think.

Failing all that: T-shirt that says 'FEDERAL BIKINI INSPECTOR'

84joe | 22 Mar '07, 15:09 | X
- i avoid wearing that
  
  its such a cunt to iron
  
  alcxxk @84joe | 22 Mar '07, 15:10 | X

        10p per item?
        
        Brooner @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:13 | X
        
        you may notice from this thread
        
        that i TOTALLY have a job!!!!!!
        
        i'll do shirts £1 each tho
        
        alcxxk @Brooner | 22 Mar '07, 15:14 | X
        
        you wont have a job
        
        when you turn up in jeans and a t-shirt. then you'll accept my paltry offer of 10p a shirt.
        
        Brooner @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:20 | X
        
        well done btw.
        
        Brooner @Brooner | 22 Mar '07, 15:20 | X
No jeans, basically

Shirt and trousers and shoes. But with a casual smile on your face.

bamos | 22 Mar '07, 15:10 | X

    - im just going to wear a tuxedo tshirt

      - I think
        
        Rio Ferdinand has one/
        
        TheSoundofBastards @wishpig | 22 Mar '07, 15:20 | X
      - It's different to your
        
        idea of casual, yes. But not the working world's idea.
        
        bamos @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:13 | X
        
        oh you fuck
        
        fucking looking down your fucking nose.
        
        is casualol racism advised?
        
        alcxxk @bamos | 22 Mar '07, 15:13 | X
        
        Yes
        
        Especially if you can get the words 'Damned Argies', 'Thieving gypsy cunts' and LOLocaust' in there.
        
        bamos @alcxxk | 22 Mar '07, 15:15 | X
      - In the case of work it
        
        means stuff like no tie, or no jacket, or not-so-neat-and-tidy-shirt or light coloured linen suit doesn't it?
        
        If a job asked me to dress smart casual I would probably wear tweedy trousers, and a v-neck jumper. Or a plain top with a necklace. Or a dress... or a skirt... hmm.
        
        fionapinkstars | 22 Mar '07, 15:15 | X
        
        tweedy trousers?
