At first, I was going to say the same as casual Friday, although that brought on some nightmares of what I've seen from co-workers. As Explorer789 said, smart casual. You could do gym clothes or whatnot, but my considerations...

1) Will I be comfortable (regardless of COS)
2) What kind of response am I likely to get from the flight crew when I interact with them.
3) Is there a scent and if so, is it strong?

I add the last one there because it is always a factor. I take public transit a lot and one of my biggest beefs is that there are always people who either smell like they slept in a cesspool or someone who dumped a bottle of cheap perfume on themselves (one or two sprits is one thing, dumping the bottle on yourself is another). And smelling these strongly odourific people often makes me gag or want to throw up.

Really what you wear is your own business. But if you're going into a sealed metal tube and spend multiple hours with a bunch of strangers (active interaction or not), what kind of impression do you want to make on them. I generally find if you dress at least smart casual, you will be treated better (and if you have a dispute with a DYKWIA type who dresses like a slob, you will more likely than not, be given the benefit of the doubt).

I have no wish or in fact need to impress my fellow travellers in any way, and cant imagine why I would need to.

I travel for pleasure. I wear smart casual. Husband wears shorts and a polo often. If we are not going to a Qantas lounge and are overseas mid holiday we often wear nice thongs! Some might say that is uncouth.

No trousers over the thongs?
You are a liberal couple.

Being Australian I expect they have a roll of Durex in their luggage too.

Now, for me the big question is: should I wear socks with my Crocs?

Fall/winter/spring: Knit pants/trousers (my favorite design house excels at this). Very thin turtleneck. Cashmere or merino sweater in season-appropriate color. Ankle boots. Silk square scarf in case added warmth needed around neck (easily tied around handbag strap). Cardigan easily accessible in carry-on

Summer: Jeans. Tank top. Oxford shirt. Flats or ankle boots (depending on where I am going). Silk square scarf. Cardigan easily accessible in carry-on.

I wear a smile and a friendly demeanor.

What is considered acceptable clothing for starting another thread about acceptable clothing?

Complete n00dity is okay with me.

It's handy if it's hot!!

No socks dear!

We don't fool around on hols so sans condoms! The Bali boozers in their late 20s probably take heaps

You sound like Andy Warhol

Especially on bad hair days.

What I wear most often are fishing-type shirts and casual cargo pants. Both have larger and more pockets than usual with button or Velcro closures and are very handy for passports, tickets, etc. I've been known to test a shirt pocket with my wallet to make sure it will fit a passport.

I am not interested in what other people wear as long as their dangling parts are covered. Should my attire attract a "stare of death" from some condescending goof he/she will find the same happily returned.

I only wear my finest tuxedo when flying premium cabins.

On a DAYTIME FLIGHT????

Major fashion faux pas.

It's called "evening wear" for a reason.

Gentlemen ought to wear morning suits on daytime flights, no?
