From a business fashion perspective, I find afterwork drinks pretty interesting – seeing how the blokes spiffy up their suits (or lose the tie/blazer for venues with “no-suit” rules) and ladies make tweaks to what they’ve worn all day.

March 30, 2011 BusinessChicTV

The workplace dresscode for gents, “Contemporary Business Wear”, usually means a suit without the jacket and shirt without the tie.
