Polo shirts aren't smart. Folk play tennis in them and the collar is floppy AF. They look scruffier than plain round neck T-shirt.

Is the business a tech company or a bank?

I mean, if it's a bank, they've probably got some BS dress policy and it's chinos, shirt, shoes.

And on most tech companies, "clothed" counts as business casual. Chinos with sneakers and a t-shirt is a way of saying you are looking to be promoted to a management role.

Almost every tech company I’ve worked at has had a “Investors are coming, dress up” day. And when asked what “dress up” meant they said, “wear one of the more recent company branded t-shirt/hoodies we gave out”.

That sounds like a reasonable dress code!
