    Starting an office job for the summer and the dress code is smart casual, just wondering what peoples opinions are on wearing a tie? Is there a need? Are slacks and a shirt sufficient?

    smart casual usually means no tie.

    I would say no tie, shirt and smart trousers but no harm giving a quick call to somebody in the office and asking them for some guidance!

    Smart casual in a business context would more usually mean that a suit is not required but that an odd jacket, shirt and tie should be worn.

    I disagree
    Smart or Business Casual in my experience means no tie ,in some companies explicitly no tie (I have seen people asked to remove their tie!)

    Slacks and a shirt (no jeans) will be sufficient and as I said earlier have a suitable tie in your jacket pocket and if required stick it on.

    Just wore slacks and a shirt and had a tie in the car, I went in and only saw a handful of ties, it definitely leans more to the casual side in the place. Thanks for the input!
