Generally though when I see business casual as the dress code for a restaurant I think that it encompasses a look that allows for sex appeal and personality. Hopefully I'm not wrong about that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-casual-dress-code#post-51015 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 04:31:07 +0000 kbosh 51015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With the way some offices are, sure. I think dressy casual allows for a little more sex appeal and personality than business casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-casual-dress-code#post-50973 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 03:32:58 +0000 Mellllls 50973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, that would seem to encompass business casual then.....do you think it should? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-casual-dress-code#post-50750 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 04:24:21 +0000 kbosh 50750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say no jeans or sandals, but no cocktail dresses either. Cute skirts, kitten heels, smart slacks. "Smart Casual" seems like the British way to say "Dressy Casual," like theater vs. theatre and grey vs. gray. I always prefer British. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-casual-dress-code#post-50749 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 04:18:20 +0000 anne 50749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would think 'smart Casual" would be okay. Or maybe smart casual but not jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-casual-dress-code#post-50731 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 03:26:02 +0000 Mellllls 50731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,<br /> Recently while on vacation a lot of restaurants I went to had a 'dressy casual' dress code. I don't really know what this means; I am guessing something in between smart casual and business casual. I erred on the dressier side because I hate being under-dressed but am trying to figure out what this means in case I ever run across it again. If anyone has any ideas, please share!<br /> Thanks! </p>
