A few random questions about business casual. In my situation, it means dress shirts with no tie, nice trousers, and rarely a sportcoat.
1. Is it mainly an American thing about french cuffs only being for suits? I see pretty casual looking designs from H&K, H&H, TM Lewin etc. which seem like they'd be fine with silk knots and no tie or jacket. What's the big deal?
2. Are black cap-toes considered okay for business casual? If not, what's wrong with black loafers? I go on AAAC and they make it sound like you must wear only button down shirts, sportcoats, and no black loafers.
3. After a navy blazer, what would be next to pair with charcoal, black, and grey trousers which are either solid, herringbone, or houndstooth. I'm looking at either black/white glen plaid or grey tweed.
4. What's the difference in belts for business formal vs. casual? Seems a little bit overboard.
