Dress code

Re: Dress code for business meetings:

What does "casual", "smart casual" and "black tie" mean?

To be absolutely sure what is required, you would have to check with your employer, but to me, casual would mean slacks and shirt (polo, business, etc); smart casual would be slacks and business shirt, sports jacket, no tie. Black tie is traditionally very formal-- a tuxedo--, so it doesn't really make sense to me in this situation. Perhaps another member has a better concept of current business meeting dress codes.
