Post Business Casual

I would dress "Business Casual" (just like at the office) when flying A/D and would not wear anything considered "Unacceptable Attire".

The following is part of a memo from the human resource department for where I work:

Code:
General Recommendations
These general guidelines apply regarding dress code, consistent with the company’s Personal Appearance and Dress Code policy - full policy content may be found in the Policy Manual, or on the corporate intranet site.
 o Extremes of fashion are to be avoided in the workplace
 o Cleanliness and neatness are critical to a professional working environment
 o If a Manager deems an employee’s attire to be inappropriate, the employee may be asked to leave the workplace until properly dressed. The employee will not be paid for time away from work for this purpose.
 o Management may make occasional exceptions if something specific would appropriately exempt certain employees from these guidelines (e.g., moving days, management-sponsored theme days).
While a full listing of appropriate and inappropriate attire is far too lengthy, employees should use their good judgment to ensure their dress is suitable for a professional work environment. If unsure, go conservative!

Monday to Thursday - Recommended Business Casual Attire
 o Casual skirts, dresses and pants (e.g., Dockers, khakis) - no blue jean apparel, whether pants, dresses or skirts
 o Casual dress shirts, sweaters, Polo/Golf shirts – no T-shirts or sweatshirts
 o Dress shorts, walking shorts – no short shorts
 o Dress shoes, casual walking shoes, or dress sandals
Fridays only – Jeans Day
 o Blue jean denim apparel (pants, skirts or dresses) appropriate on Fridaysonly
 o Plain T-shirts or plain sweatshirts acceptable on Fridays only
 o Fridays are not “anything goes” days – items listed below as “unacceptable” remain so on Fridays
 o Athletic shoes on Fridays only

Unacceptable Office Attire at any time
 o No hats in the office any day – exception only at management sponsored event/theme days
 o No sweat pants, leggings, gym or athletic wear
 o No sports team jerseys
 o No short-shorts, cutoffs, beach shorts or bicycle shorts
 o No short dresses, short skirts, short tops, tube tops, halter tops
 o No T-shirts or sweatshirts with offensive pictures, remarks or slogans 
 o No beach or thong sandals
Internal or external business meetings
As a company representative, employees should wear business attire to on- or off-site meetings with business clients.
