then we can have a real answer to what ATOT thinks

I for one enjoy suits - but i also have mine tailored to me so they are comfortable (they are extremely cheap to have made in turkey)

To me, khakis(or similar pants) and a polo or button down. No tie necessary for business casual.

Here the definition is pants, not jeans, and a shirt with collar or sweater. Could be Old Navy cargo pants and a flannel. For most, it's nice pants and a button up dress shirt.

Works for me if I wear black jeans. Blue jeans just makes it too casual even, but I have a pair of black jeans that I can wear with a polo and still look decently dressed. Of course Khakis just bring it a notch up to where I'm used to...

Personally I think a polo is bordering into casual, a shirt with a collar is business casual.

My current work place lets me wear whatever I want, including shorts and flipflops during the summer:)

I didn't vote because the poll choices in this case have more than one possible answer / response as far as I am concerned. First of all, tie != casual. tie = formal in my book. But depending on what else you wear I think there are still instances where you could be wearing a tie but still be considered in less than full formal attire. But a tie should never be required for a "business casual" environment.

Excluding the cargo pants and flannel part this is a standard definition. No jeans, collar shirt and nice shoes.

Here is an excerpt from a quarterly reminder about business casual attire that my company sends out:

Business casual may be appropriate at times, but you should not confuse business casual with casual alone. Jeans (any color), t-shirts, caps, sneakers and tennis shoes, and athletic wear of any kind are not appropriate in the workplace. In general, if you have any doubt in your mind about the suitability of your attire, it probably isn't appropriate.

Pretty much covers here too. I push the envelope with my shirts, because someone's gotta make a dent in the sea of plaid.

I think it depends on where you work. If you work at a small office, slacks/polo might be OK. If you work in a big firm/bank in the city, it might mean wearing a shirt and tie.
