Corporate Dubai
On the 18th of June I am heading to Dubai to intern for a company called The Hay Group. I’ve decided that it is a good time to buy some new “work clothes” for the occasion. I’ve been informed that the dress code is smart casual, but I am never really sure what smart casual is. If I wore something that I thought was smart casual, but in a really outlandish colour, is it still constituted as smart? The reason I ask is because I came across these legendary chinos sold by Ralph Lauren in this great red colour, but I am not sure if they would be acceptable. What do you think?
Also fun fact for you about Chinos. The word Chino is actually a misnomer. They were originally cotton pants used for summer uniforms by the U.S Army. When the twill arrived in freight boxes, it was stamped with the country of origin; however the imprint read “Chino” instead of “China” and the name has stuck ever since. Interesting eh?
Keep it UJU
