For event at a 5-star hotel but dress code says smart casual. working shirt with coat but no tie acceptable?

Wear bowtie

Zara coat

yes that's good TS

I just wear tshirt, jeans n blazer

Singlet, sarong, selipar jepun

Polo T, jeans and a shoe considered a smart casual.

easy... just bowtie and tongs.

Suit and sandals

Smart casual
No singlet (must cover whole body and shoulder, showing elbow down is ok. Polo-T is fine)
No short pants (must cover whole leg)
No slipper/anything showing toes (no toes and heels showing)

polo khaki sneakers blazer

Working shirt + coat + tie = formal
working shirt + coat without tie = business casual
Polo-T + Jeans/long pants + full cover shoes (sport shoes/walking shoes) = smart casual

Smart Casual means, T-shirt, collar shirt is allow

Ralph Lauren polo shirt, Rolex and Hermes belt

smart casual means you can wear as casual as you like if you looks smart.

if you muka penumbuk...forget about it.

underwear cukup.

thank me later.

whatevs bro...as long as your dick is not showing

Smart casual demands a work shirt, polo is absolutely out IMHO

This.

Google image kan ada?

for me:
smart casual: Shirts+slacks+dress shoes tuck in or not depends on you.

Wear sari

when jpn enforce a dress code, people make a lot of hoo haaa.. until someone threatened to wear a bikini to challenge the dress code... but when non-malaysian gov related company apply a dress code, they become like a dog following its masters... So weird..

Wear working shirt + slack pants + shoes just to be on the safe side.

See anything matching your description? Mcm ada... But non of them wearing black coats... So... Better not.

Covered shoes, long pants, preferably shirt or collar tee

your best tshirt wit blazer & jeans.

smart casual = polo T with popped up collar with a slingbag

work shirt, work pants, and coat is it over-dressed? its a night event. dont want to appear under-dressed tho

Button up

Jeans

Boot

That's what I wear anyway, it's universal, can even access lab and site without feeling like a twat

sounds legit but batik is categorised as formal i thot

so if i see others are too casual, i will just remove my coat.

when in doubt, just go for formal wear

always work

Smart casual means sporty-looking business wear, ie shirt and pants that looks office-like but more showy than normally acceptable in an office. In Msia where people don't normally wear coats/jackets because of the weather, wearing a coat is definitely on the more formal side.

A non-black blazer or sport jacket is more fashionable than business, but if you know any other attendees you should ask around what they are wearing.

Yours is wedding kah? I'm also attending a hotel wedding this weekend. The family requested jackets but since I am distant and junior, I'm playing with no tie. Considering going like this, but with black dress shoes and belt:

as long no genital exposure ure good to go

boundaries is dont follow stephen chow's singlet + tie

skian

perhaps im not going to spend on getting blazers or sportss jacket

it's not a wedding coz that would be easy. it's a uni alumni dinner where i know nobody there. so nobody to ask.

then why think so hard? why dress as some1 you are not? wear your best shirt, pants and shoes and be done

formal = black and white / batik
smart casual = shirt with jeans also ok..
casual = polo tee with jeans
