When I started my last real job I asked the HR person what business casual meant and she refused to give a straight answer. Her implication was something like "anything that is modest and doesn't make you look like a slob," but that wasn't strictly enforced. I wore khakis and cheap polo shirts, and was generally among the best-dressed of the under-40 technical crowd. I still wear a couple of the shirts sometimes. They make me look grown-up.

I have one polo shirt. Polos and khakis are acceptable business casual in my firm, but you might feel a little out of place. I always wear dress trousers and a button-down collared shirt to look acceptably sharp. Sometimes a sports coat as well.
I very rarely wear polos casually.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

Well, in any event, a dress shirt. Wide collared (ainsley). No buttons on the collar.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

I wear them. What about it? Are you trying to start a problem?

DanS:
Button-up would be what you think it is... button down is the shirts with buttons on the collar. Funny how words are like that.

Asher, looks like more people do wear them casually, but they all seem to be over 40

How? I'm looking at it right now... there's a picture of a Van Heusen shirt with a buttoned collar described as "Dress shirt with button-down collar"Originally posted by DanS View Post
A button-up is called that because you button up the shirt... so all button-down dress shirts are button-up's but not all button-ups are button-down."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Straight from wiki:
It doesn't say it but button-up refers to the front buttoning."Button-down" is sometimes used incorrectly to describe the front buttoning of a shirt; a "button-down" shirt refers to a shirt with an American "button-down" collar introduced by Brooks Brothers in 1896, discussed below."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

It's not just "over 40", in the world. It may be that way here in the geek world called Apolyton.

Sloww, I know that. I was shocked when Asher made the original claim that nobody wears polos except for douches... because every man I know (ie- 25 and under) wears polo shirts. This was all to prove him wrong (and show that either he's lying or the people he sees in Toronto are weirdos)Originally posted by SlowwHand View PostIt's not just "over 40", in the world.

But I obviously know that.
