Author and consultant Ann Marie Sabath recommends these guidelines for men's business dress: If men are wearing an open necked dress shirt on “casual days”, they should wear V-neck undershirts, not crew-necked ones; leave the last button open on their sports coats when they've buttoned the middle or upper two; wear leather-soled shoes rather than rubber-soled ones; knot their ties so the tips reach their belt buckles; and wear a dress watch with dress clothes, not the sporty scuba-diving model they took to the beach. The biggest male offence: wearing trousers without a belt on casual day.
