dumb formal

to describe the kind of 'unwritten uniform' worn by certain professions (i.e teachers) to work. This is what happens when 'smart casual' goes to work.

I like the way you've jazzed up your slack and crisp white collared shirt look with that snazzy navy blue cardigan.

It's what the dumb formal look is all about.
