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!
