To me, business casual is something you wear to appease a code, not to impress someone. I've seen too many people who would technically qualify as business causal wearing Dockers sans crease, dirty, worn pockets with pant top rolled down and the belt too tight, and a button up sans tee shirt that's skin tight, with the sleeves rolled up. It's disgusting, but hey, they are technically ok. Then you have the guy with starched jeans, button up, blazer and boots who technically isn't to code.
Again, it's something you do to meet a code, not to impress. If you want to impress, clean your act up. If you're going to dress BC, do it right. Otherwise everyone knows you're just getting in on a technicality and it dilutes the concept.
I don't care for dress codes but like all codes they are intended for the small minority who don't seem to have common ing sense to not dress like a ing bum. If you leave the door open to whatever they want, you'll have ers wearing spandex and tube tops to corporate functions.
I've traveled the world for years and one thing is for certain; there are ing idiots everywhere.
