im sick of the whole standard of dress thing.
black tie, smart, smart casual, neat casual, tidy, neat, casual, THERES TOO MANY, JUST TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK TO WEAR!

i don't know about other people, but smart casual does not mean shit to me. is it nice jeans and a half decent top, or dress pants and a nice top, or will shorts cut it. they shoiuld give examples. i have this bloody school thing to go to, and i will either be severly overdressed, or look like a slob. they should do away with all these stupid things, cause i don't have the experience to deal with it. im only 17, i don't know the diffrence between neat causual and smart casual. they mean the same to me. i wear long cargos and a black shirt everywhere.

this is the type of thing that drives people to machine gunning entire crowds of people.

(as a side note, you havent had a mass shooting in over a week, (unless ive missed something) good work!)

I always figured that smart, neat, and tidy were the same things.

Thank god I am homeschooled.

Smart Casual means, for a guy, no jeans, generally speaking something more along the lines of khakis, ya know, just plain pants (I have a real problem with vocab when it comes to clothes in america, so if I make a mistake sorry)..

and it means, usually a shirt with a collar, but no tie.. Oh, and appropriate shoes, ie no tennis shoes.

Black tie means a tuxedo.

Smart, I guess, would fall in between the two, and would indicate at the very least a shirt and tie, most likely a suit.

Casual means jeans and whatever shirt you want.

For a woman, smart casual again means no jeans, and it means nothing revealing, in some places that includes no sleeveless shirts, and generally nothing shorter than the knee as far as skirts are concerned. Oh, and as a general rule I'd avoid anything that has a logo or text on it. plain colors or patterns only.

Black tie would be a dress. A posh dress.

Smart would be almost definitely a skirt, or a pants suit

Anything else?

You can never go wrong with good jeans and a black t-shirt. This is all I wear, I have 8 pairs of levis and about 20 black t-shirts. If you are in a room full of people dressed to the nines wearing jeans and a t, they usually assume you are someone so important that you do not have to impress anyone with your clothes. This is why so many fashon designers and musicians choose this uniform. Use a few accents to show you still have good fashon sense, bolo ties, belts, good shoes, and downplayed but visible jewelry will give the impression that you could have been a lot more fashonable but chose not to because you are just so damn cool.

I don't know where I would be without my black t-shirts. Though I have several plain ones, I couldn't live with myself if I didn't mix it up once in a while. Such as the black shirt with the dragon on it, or the one with the chick surfing, or my favorite, the giant gecko with neon orange sunglasses.

Just go naked and say that you couldn't decide on what to wear, so you wore your skin instead.

i just wear olive pants and a olive shirt.
im also drunk and stoned that i might change my clothes in 10 minutes i be a fcukin elephant.

I have to admit I'm really into fasion...RAOVQ: you should probably avoid the cargo pants all together, even for casual.

Back in the days when I was in my school cadet unit, the full ceremonial uniform included a kilt. (Private school Scottish heritage, Braveheart, etc.)

I've heard that ceremonial military uniform is acceptable for a formal function.

Does this mean I could have worn the kilt, jacket, sporran and ceremonial dagger to one?

the dagger(sgian dhu) will most likly be taken from you when you try to go anywhere with it, its a weapon n thats how most door men see it.

Bugger.

Where, exactly, does this bland fashionable stuff that most people wear out on the street come from?

I can't imagine wearing that kind of clothing, simply because of the lack of utility (asides from covering the body, of course). I usually wear cyberpunk/survivalist-type clothes, which, for the most part, is fashion through utility.

peace out.

The good thing about kilts is, you have instant, easy access to your penis when you feel like wanking.

Yes. Freeballing is good.
