that you pair with a flat, or sandals/wedges that are dressier than flip-flops.

Wear pants and a dress shirt or polo with a leather loafer, oxfords, or a slip-on
shoe. Avoid sport shoes.
Avoid showing up with wrinkles or clothes one size too big, too small, or in a
non-coordinating color. A tie is optional but definitely NOT needed.

MAKE NOTE OF THIS…
Some people view Business Casual and Smart Casual as two separate things… & some call “Dressy Casual”…”Smart Casual”
“Smart casual” (as some define it) allows the combination of business, formal, and casual in…well…a “smart” look. While ties don’t show in business casual, they are often part of the smart ensemble alongside vests, jackets, cardigans, and even hoodies.

Most likely business formal; the color of the suit makes it a tad less dressy than a dark suit.
