Induction at work -Smart casual?

[OpenToSuggestions]

I have got 2 weeks induction as part of a year placement from uni.

The induction 2 weeks does not require a full suit but the dress code is smart casual.

Would suit trousers and a work shirt (the sort of shirt you wear with a suit) be ok for this? - No tie and jacket obviously.
Seems a bit daft buying new clothes for an induction but if need be I will have to.

What would you lot wear for work as smart casual?

Thanks

trousers and shirt+ smart shoes. Half smart half casual :S.

Yep. Just look neat and clean.

After your first day on the induction, you will get a good idea of what you will be expected to wear on the remaining days.

Most inductions I've heard of are like hazings, so nudity is a prerequisite.

Black trousers, black shoes, and a shirt. A tie would also look better to be honest, but I'd skip the suit jacket.

I disagree, I think jacket and no tie...

How on earth are black trousers casual? Geez.

Nice shoes, dark jeans and a plain, smart shirt.

I'd be tempted to wear a tie on the first day and play it by ear. Better to turn up overdressed and have to loose the tie than be the only person with an open collar, that's just me though.

Rule of thumb's it's better to be over-dressed rather than under-dressed.

2 weeks induction

The NHS one is half a day and that's like torture with death by Powerpoint.
I've also bought my students induction down from 7 days to 3 days because of how boring it can be.

Black smart jeans and a shirt with shoes, that's what I'm wearing today.
