I've been asked if I want to attend an IT security conference next week at the MCG which it comes with an MCG tour and a fine-dining lunch experience. I feel like I don't own clothes nice enough to attend something like that! I'm not fancy.

Jeans + solid coloured t-shirt or long sleeve would suffice.

Just don't tuck your t-shirt into the pants.

Yeah "smart casual" had changed a lot. Jeans and a nice tshirt is enough to get you by.

A pair of slacks, shirt with a collar and a pair of shoes (not runners) will be fine.

It's IT. Just wear your most recently ironed pair of khakis and a collared t-shirt.

I always wear a death metal t-shirt when I am made to go into the office.

IT security so chainmail and a chastity belt.

You gotta take a nice jacket - usually either, cream, bone, white, off-white, ivory or beige.
