Situations: quick answers

What should a man wear on a first date?
One step smarter than the venue. Dark jeans or chinos, a clean knit or casual shirt, and leather sneakers or boots cover most dates. Fit and clean shoes matter more than anything you add.
What does business casual mean for men?
Chinos or wool trousers, a collared shirt or fine knit, optional blazer, and leather shoes or minimal leather sneakers. No tie, no suit, no hoodies, no athletic shoes.
