Tidy; no jeans.

That's what I say.

no t-shirts either. likely no sleeveless shirts. no flip flips, depending on the place of work, maybe even no open-toe/heal shoes without socks. DEFINITELY no shorts.

HA! business casual... it depends mostly on the office you are in.

In my 100+ year old, extremely conservative law firm, it means...

slacks or skirt WITH HOSIERY!
blouse with cardigan
sweater sets

definitely no jeans, sneakers, ripped clothing, t-shirts. Always look tidy, like rabblerocket says. not too much makeup, little or no perfume/cologne.

In your 2 man office, I would follow the "definitely not" paragraph above. although you could probably get away with solid coloured t-shirts (i.e., black, white, red. no pictures.)

Hope that helps. If not, let's go shopping (window of course).

In addition to my post above, I forgot to add the following...

Whether we want to admit it or not, how we dress and act influences how people perceive us. The more on the business side you dress, the more likely you are to be taken seriously (and make more money). Conversely, the more casual you dress, the less likely you will be of getting promotions, more interesting work, etc.

By "you" I mean the general you, not you specifically.
