What's up /fa/
I'm looking for advice on an outfit, I am attending an event and the dress code is business casual. I only really wear jeans and button up shirts. I have a pair of boots I think would go well, I was thinking something like pic related. Thanks everyone, if there is a guide or sticky that refers to this let me know.

Who do you want to meet at the event?
If you just want to 'fit in', throw in a tie and you'll be good, if you want to look sharp a suit would be much better.
If you'll be there for the event per se and not to meet people, don't buy a suit in a hurry, it's not worth it.
Ah, I should have been more specific. It's a student research conference, I will be a moderator for the presenters. Just want to look sharp really as I go around watching presentations but I'll mostly be moderating/talking with other students.
Thanks!
You think a sweater + dress shirt would look fine even though we'll be indoors?

You don't need to wear a sweater if it means you'll be hot. Business casual just means you don't have to wear a tie or a jacket. You can wear a tie OR a jacket, but dress up too much and you'll stick out in a bad way. Keep colors and patterns more casual and make sure the fit is good and you'll be set.
I've been in a business casual company for four years now as a wageslave, so most of my wardrobe is business casual.

How do students dress at your uni?
If you can, a jacket would look better than a tie, and still make you stand out and look professional.

I personally love V-neck sweaters; If you can find a light material, or cream colored sweater vest, wear that with a white collared shirt, and some khakis and walnut dress shoes, or medium grey dress pants and black dress shoes, you'll be golden.

*and maybe a red tie, too just to stand out a little more

Hate bright red ties though. Muted red and dark red is where it's at.
