Ok just got a job at a tech firm the dress code is "smart casual"
what the hell does that mean? I assume I won't be needed a complete business suit.

>> No.8132266

Suit without a tie, top button undone.
Have a tie in your pocket, just in case.

>> No.8132272

>>8132266
I'd say drop the jacket too

>> No.8132280

Oxford cloth button down, button down collar.
leather belt with contrasting or stitching.

Off color pants and jacket (drop the jacket for bonus points).


Alternative: suit but with a solid Tee under.

>> No.8132297

why not just go in the suit
dress lke u give a fuck, also suits look really nice if theyre picked correctly
rock a suit
you can leave your ties at home

How to make it /fa/ for someone who usually wears all black streetwear/gothninja?

I might be getting an apprenticeship in an IT company as social media manager. Might not need to dress too well since I wouldn't be at front desk.

To me, "smart casual" equals "business casual".

I just wear a pair of dress pants, khaki or gray colored, along with a dress shirt and blazer. I would also wear a fedora and hold a glass of scotch because fedoras and scotch are classy. At work, you should talk about jazz music with your coworkers because that is what classy gentleman do. A gentleman is always on time, too. So you should wear a watch.

no. OCBD can refer to a button down shirt made from Oxford weaved cloth. Though in culture and on the internet it has been associated with the button down collar automatically. Which is actually called the "polo collar". I think the Of Rogues & Gentlemen has an entry on this :)

>> No.8132439

Then something like a hoodie or w/e.

I suggest you don't do this.

Consider this look instead but with jeans and the docs.

I recommend you to have at least 3 blue, and 3 white OCBDs. Avoid black OCBD.

There must be brands that simply make good wool pants.

Look for "Lauren Ralph Lauren" (I think this is RL's dep't store label) wool pants.

They go for cheap at outlets and can be tailored to a slim fit. A lot of them are made of high quality that would surprise you.

No man, I'm serious about the pic. Switch the pants for denim, and rock a rugby shirt over a hoodie. hoodies are a no-no.

Look man, you're going to be working in Social Media Management. You'll have all these marketing types around you all day, you don't want to look like "that IT guy". Skip the hoodie, go for a rugby to layer the casual dress shirt.

If social media manager was pure IT, then yeah rock a hoodie, but it is marketing meets IT, meets CSR.

This one's a little dadcore.

One of my favorite looks is a v-neck sweater.
>v-neck sweater. T-shirt underneath if you want a visible neckline, but that's not really important.
>black skinny jeans
>cuff jeans and wear nice looking socks with gentle white shoes
>OR don't cuff jeans, wear black/gray socks and go all out with the shoes. I have white shoes that are splatter painted and the whole fit looks business cool. I don't look like the CEO, but hey, it works.
>roll up the sleeves if you want. I like having no visible neckline because it shows a bit more skin and makes you look cooler. Up to you.

Once you're working there you'll have more wiggle room. I'm the stylish guy where I work, it's just my thing. That's how I get away with this stuff.

Pic related with a blazer instead of a hoodie.
