Florida Business Casual

I know what it would be for me....but I'm not real fashion saavy, so...help!

Men wear polo shirts or collared shirts w/ dress shorts or slacks - maybe w/ a blazer or sweater in the evening if it is cool. Women wear skirts, casual dresses or slacks w/ nice blouses, shells or sweaters and tend to be more dressy in the evenings.

Lots of linen, silk, and lightweight knits in neutrals and brighter colors & patterns than one would wear on the East coast or larger cities. No nylons, formal suits, dark colors, shorts or t-shirts (except at the beach). Designer/dark/tailored jeans are ok w/ a dressy top, your favorite pair of faded Levis not so much.

I think they add the Florida to remind you that it will be hot/muggy so bring lighter/more breathable fabrics and leave the black at home.

I can never hear or see the word seersucker without thinking of the movie "Sophie's Choice." There is actually a light moment in the movie where Sophie (Meryl Streep) gets the word wrong. Anyone? Anyone?
