I have a law firm reception tomorrow with a casual dress code. While that obviously means "casual but presentable," does that include jeans and a button down shirt? Little lost on what to wear.
Thanks much!

Dress shirt, nice pants, and a tie? If you can, spot it out beforehand. If no one is wearing the tie, take your tie off and stash it somewhere.Anonymous User wrote:I have a law firm reception tomorrow with a casual dress code.

Re: Dress for a casual reception?
I'd probably go more business casual, unless you know the firm has a dress code that includes jeans. Even then, I'd still go biz caj. If you're a dude, I'd say khakis and a button down, and if you're a chick, a less dressy dress.

OP here. I should have mentioned the venue - it is at a divey "law school" bar. I was thinking slacks and a dress shirt (err on the side of caution and all) until I checked out the venue today. Hence the confusion....Gorki wrote:Dress shirt, nice pants, and a tie? If you can, spot it out beforehand.

Unless it's like...a windowless room, stick to the floor kind of place, I'd still wear khakis.

Re: Dress for a casual reception?
I would wear a sheath dress, but I guess that wouldn't help if you're not female.
