Start a new job next week and was told that the code is Smart Dress. Please explain what this is? I've gone out and bought some smart formal trousers and some shirts.

Smart Shirt (no tie)
Smart Trousers
Smart shoes
Belt

Will this be ok?

Turn up with a tie on and you can always remove it to fit in.
Your employers will appreciate the fact that you were ready to fit any situation.

Wear a tie on your first day, no harm in it and if no one else is wearing one you may feel a little silly but the next day you can just take it off, this way you won't look scruffy if you come in and everyone else is.

Didn't you have an interview for the job? What were the people who interviewed you wearing?*

*Note, this does not work if you were interviewed by laydeez.

Do wht every other office worker seems to do for their "smart" dress, wear a pair of trousers too short, and a really baggy and ill fitting shirt, then stick a crappy looking tie into the mix. Perhaps even get a baggy suit jacket that doesn't match the trousers if you want to go really "smart". Nice and "smart" then... :p

Are you 100% certain that "smart dress" doesn't mean just that, and that they expect you to roll up in some off the shoulder little black number?

Wear a LBD

Only kidding, wear black shoes, black trousers, smart shirt, tie and make sure you look clean and tidy and you can't go wrong.
