A nonsensical dress code that people slap onto events, parties, and workplaces.

Completely down to interpretation; this always causes confusion and often spectacular results.

A mixture between smart and casual - should not be taken literally.
Andy- "What's the dress code tonight?"
Bob- "Smart Casual"
Andy- "Well what the hell does that mean?!"

Jim- "Hey, is Andy wearing jogging bottoms with that blazer?!"
Bob- "Yeah it's Smart Casual"

Order of dress between Business Attire and Casual.

For men, this consists of a collared shirt with jacket without a tie. The pattern and colour of the jacket do not have to match with the pants.

For women, this order of dress offers a wide range of options. Skirt or pants are both fully acceptable. Jacket is optional.

Smart Casual is another way of saying no jeans and T-Shirt.

Wear business clothes in a relaxed fashion.
