Dress is Smart/Casual..........

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Usually means "smarter than jeans and t-shirt but more casual than a suit and tie".

Bit up-market for you then, Keith. ;)

Guessed so as well, perhaps a jeans is just about possible, but with a shirt?

Dress codes are rubbish anyway, I usually end up being either over- or underdressed, not just about right :lol:
Styles are a lie.

Nope.
