  • What’s the fall fashion trend for the redefined business casual? 

I can’t stress enough how important it is to cover your privates, and not just with a clipboard, no matter how casual any establishment says it is willing to be.  As always, tight fitting, retro styles are popular among all those fashionistos who still rely heavily on their high school wardrobe.  And wearing glasses is a nice touch when contact lenses aren’t covered on your mom’s insurance, even though your optometrist says that your eyeballs are not perfect circles and he’s never seen that before, and that contacts would just pop off anyway.  And, glasses add a touch of credibility when, say, debating with a video store attendant whether a refund is in order for the fine you paid on the VHS tape you finally found under your mini-fridge that you put there so it would stop wobbling and spilling your half-finished soda cans.  And, glasses provide nice eye protection when getting escorted out of said video store.  Also, pull your sock up.  It turns out no one wants to see the ingrown hairs on your shins.
