    I think smart casual basically means don’t wear tatty jeans.  
    I'd argue it rules out most athletic wear too.
    That’s right - and it made me laugh. It’s a generational thing: when I were a lass, athletic wear was for exercise and exercise only.  I’ve only recently stopped taking a complete change of clothes when I go to the gym.

    Agree wholeheartedly. Leggings are not suitable at all.  The blue dress is lovely.
