What is "Smart Casual"?

[RuthC]

Is the new casual still "smart casual"? :confused: And how does it compare with what's sometimes called "country club casual"...

I think of them as the same thing...

...which I always figured just meant "more expensive" but not necessarily better looking.

...but I think of smart casual as the reverse---better looking (than just casual), but not necessarily more expensive.

To me, Formal and Casual were always pretty self explanatory. For formal I'd wear a dark business suit, and casual consisted of a pair of Dockers and a button down, collared shirt.

 

In the "old days", (for semi-formal, informal or smart causal), I wore the traditional blue blazer and tie. Nowadays I don't pack for this and just consider formal and causal as the standard attire for the trip.

Well there were some good guesses! But s7s got it exactly right!

Although DH & I are not of Greek descent, our DIL is. That is what our grandbaby calls both sets of grandparents combined with our names, so

I am Yaya Ann and his other grandmother is Yaya Nini (Irini).:)

 

 

I would never have guessed. Nice story.
