visit weekend attire

[Sconnie]

I am going to a visit at one of the schools I was accepted to in a couple weeks.  They are also having a research colloquium the same weekend that we will be attending.  I asked the grad coordinator what I should wear for the various events and responded to with what you wear to teach is fine.  Now I teach at a very laid back University where jeans and polos are perfectly acceptable.  I am guessing thats not what she had in mind.  Any advice?

Nice slacks/khakis and a nice, well-fitted button-down.

i think it depends on your style. I also rock jeans, but with a dress shirt, dress shoes, classy accessories.

I think jeans and a polo would be ok, just as long as it isn't sloppy and you have you nice shoes. I love the casual styles of Allen Edmonds. And remember: dress shoes --> dress socks

But you can't go wrong with slacks/khakis.
