What does smart casual mean to you?

[mretzloff]

When someone says "smart casual" or when an event's dress code is smart casual, what does that mean to you?

I like the Urban Dictionary Definition....

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=smart casual

I usually wear a Oxford shirt, Sport Coat, Nice Jeans and nice shoes.

For me if there is a dress code that has any word in front of casual, I go with a button down or polo, slacks or khakis, nice shoes, and a sports coat (depending on weather) no tie.

Context?

To me? hmm. If it's for a business related thing, I'd think a button up and slacks would be good. If it's for a restaurant, I think that means jeans or better and a collared shirt, but I've seen people in jeans and sweatshirts at a steakhouse. I tend to err on the slightly overdressed side of things

I'm pretty sure you just need some black frame glasses that you let fall down too far to be of any use, it says "I'm smart, but I'm relaxed too"
My wife wants me to make a disclaimer that nobody should listen to my fashion advice. Ever. Under no circumstances.

I like it.

It means I won't be there.


But I'd go with urban dictionary's definition. I always try to dress slightly better than the dress code requirements anyway, without being overdressed.
