One of my co-workers has invited me to a housewarming party, in mid-June, and mentioned that the dress code was "casua" and that part of the party will be in the backyard, where they are cooking sea food on the massive grill.
I know some of the big wigs and their wives will be there, and we'll see everything from khaki shorts, penny loafers and dress oxfords, to tee shirts and jeans.
Initially I planned to wear a slim-fit Navy Polo with slim khaki chinos and brown loafers, and now I'm thinking that such a look is a tad too casual and common.
I want to wear something cool, fun and sporty, yet at the same time, classic, and well-fitting.
Basically, what should I wear? I don't want to wear shorts . Besides the polo shirt look, my second option is to replace the polo shirt with a short sleeve button-down navy or black shirt, untucked with slim wheat chinos and drivers, but I am not enthusiastic about this arrangement.
What should I opt for? I am over 47, slim, 5'8 155 lbs.
Thanks very much in advance for your time and advice. I value everyone's opinion.
