Guest Annon Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 By right. Collared shirt and any long pants with shoes will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlinkun Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Oooooh, I wear smart casual to school (and even to my attachment company since it is a small company) all the time! Basically it is inbetween looking not too formal and and not too "loose" (aka what you would wear at a coffee shop during your off days).A polo t shirt is good, so is short sleeve collar shirt and a pair of nice jeans. https://merlinsfolio.wordpress.com/ https://medium.com/@merlincheng "On the Internet, no one knows you are a cat."

Slynn Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Just wear a dress shirt and a long pants/jeans, won't go wrong.It is ok to overdress than to wear something inappropriate. But don't wear accessories (especially earrings and ear studs) and don on a pair of nice shoes Edited July 12, 2012 by Slynn b0ynsf19 1 "To live is the rarest thing in the world.

doncoin Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I wear smart casual to work all the time. Nice jeans (no tears, no fading, not too low rise. Dark washes are preferred, but it is a personal thing) and a nice business shirt, usually with sleeves folded, plus a well-tailored blazer (Optional, since Singapore is so hot). Sneakers sometimes, but I preferred dress shoes/boots to complete the look.However since it is now summer, and we are experiencing a crazy heat wave here in the US, I have been wearing shorts, tee-shirts and sandals to work. Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkflame Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Depends on your company I guess.When I first started at my company, I tested water by wearing jeans and a casual shirt. Found out later it was okay to wear a tee but I don't really wear tees up to now.I feel more excited wearing a shirt... I'm always running after you. You are my ideal. You are me.

MarriedTop Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 With jeans, you become casual. Round color T is your last option if you want to be too casual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0ynsf19 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Back formal shirt jeans plus a shoe. Weird??? You're the best thing i ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abang Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Smart casual means to dress down but please remember to dress smart.Avoid T-shirts with offensive messages, torn jeans.A plain white t-shirt can be spiced up by a sport jacket/track jersey (like the one I wore in this avatar).Be daring with colours on this day to show your personality!

alien Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Smart casual usually refer to collar, anything which is either long sleeve or short sleeve. Jeans or causal pants. 对自己好是一种幸福， 对别人好是一种积福。 Spend time counting your blessings, not airing your complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mango_juice Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 The term is often misused in sg.. Formal = shirt, pants + tie and blazer.. But most companies dun follow that due to sg weather.. So what we wear daily to work is usually smart casual already = shirt, pants, shoe.. Friday dress down stated as smart casual but usually we practice casual which is collared shirt or polo tee with pants or jeans... If they allow you to wear tee shirt it becomes leisure wear...

MeowPrince Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Smart = No flipflops/sandals, no singlets, no loud prints/messages. Depending on the company/boss/venue, it may extend to covered legs.Casual = go-out attire, less-formal, but does not include beachwear. Sports shoes are often accepted.When in doubt, just ask. Ask your supervisor/boss/colleague(s). Some venues must be stricter.Use a bit of common sense, ask, and check. Do not be like some idiots I've seen who'd show up at a posh Sunday brunch (yes, smart casual) in slippers, sports singlet and shorts.

hha3838 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Good advice above. Smart casual is a very elastic term- IT industry seems to wear smart casual every day as opposed to Banking/ Finance/ Legal sectors.Smart polo T shirts with minimal or no logos or long-sleeve shirts (rolled up to elbows) paired with decent jeans or chinos should be ok. I would even allow t-shirts without collars but with a nice light sweater (preferably zip-up or v-neck).Above all, whether dressing casual or formal- INVEST in smart footwear like cap-toe oxfords, casual loafers, monkstraps etc in black, tan, espresso, chestnut etc. Elegant footwear elevates the overall look and feel of your outfit.

I was in BKK last week having breakfast at the St Regis hotel and there was some HK tourist who wore a sleeveless tank top and bermudas and flip-flops having breakfast. There was also a contingent of PLUs, also from HK, who had, as you would expect, a better sense of smart casual dressing. In another hotel in BKK by the riverside, I witnessed a Caucasian lady having breakfast in her gym leotard and bike shorts- absolutely atrocious and unacceptable conduct, even if this were a beach shack in Bora Bora (which it wasn't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a Four Seasons HK or Peninsula Tokyo ( not that I've stayed at either) tolerate such sloppy behaviour I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
