    “… just smart casual party clothes”

    What the **** is that supposed to mean? A pair of chinos and a whirly bow-tie?

    you didn’t mention the no jeans rule in your Op Op. Just wear dark jeans, no one is gonna care. The boss won’t be stood at the door checking attire, he’ll be at the bar getting sloshed.

    I really don’t get why people get hung up on this sort of shit.

    OP states:

    No dress code just smart casual party clothes

    Everyones idea of ‘smart casual’ and ‘party clothes’ is different depending on gender, age, personality, social standing and level of alcohol intake at the time.

    Just wear what ever you feel comfortable in and doesn’t show up sweat when you’re bustin a move with Lindsey from accounts later on.

    Unless you work for a set of corporate toss pieces that constantly look down on people and try to make people feel inferior if they don’t conform to some unwritten rules that you should already know about unless you didn’t go to the pre Christmas golf club do last week…..

    He’s still on Twitter, riding motorbikes, being head of content at a marketing firm, and writing for Classic Rock magazine.

    I always take smart casual to mean I can dig out the somewhat whffy Russian whaling hat I won in a very drunken card game many years ago.

    My wife always disagrees. She feels the same way about the chickens suit.

    This is why I’m glad I’m a contractor. You’re basically excused from all corporate events 🙂

    Send a stinging rebuke to whoever sent you that email asking them for proper clarification.
