I wouldn't go to a work do that was smart casual just in case I became drunk in the presence of some **** wearing jeans and a jacket
There are some quite nice jackets around that can easily go with jeans or other casual wear. Quite tempted myself except than I never need one.
what are 'monk strapped shoes'?
I hope it has nothing to do with harry, maybe related to the the Da Vinci code?
Tailored single-breasted suit with nice patterned shirt and no tie. Or swap the trousers for some well-fitting DARK jeans. Shoes should always be smart. Brown is an option.
Chinos, blazer and polo shirt for our American friends. None of which should have any close-fitting attributes 😉

The Chap has a list of approved designs for the modern Gentleman:

Smart. dark, non-frayed and not baggy jeans. Chino#s also good but given you've ruled them out I'll ignore.
Shoes. But not too formal shoes, brown brogues are perfect.
Shirt. If you have the physique, a well cut white shirt works, if not a patterned shirt that doesn't look like a work shirt that you've forgotten the tie for.
Jacket. Dark blue, light tweed, maybe even a bit of colour. But as with the shirt, out's important it doesn't just look like you forgot to put your suit trousers on.
Dark, tidy, jeans.
Shirt, preferably oxford style/button down collar.
Jacket - tweed/navy .
Brown leather shoes - belt to match.
I introduce... The Onesie Suit! 😯
