I always thought my casual was actually business because of the collared work shirt. Are you telling me I need a jacket or some sort of overcoat for it to actually be business?
The "jeans and (white) shirt" tier seems to be missing.
That's farm casual. Farm business is full overalls and a straw hat.
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!
Business casual is a dress shirt and chinos/dress pants, loafers and sometimes a blazer/sports coat. Basically the omission of the tie and the fancy dress shoes makes it business casual. A polo and chinos is only business casual in a big box store or the tech industry. Anywhere else it’s just casual.
