The dress code calls for "smart business attire."

The title sponsor is Google, a well-known tech company.

Here's Google CEO Sundar Pichai in GQ: https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/lifestyle/article/sundar-picha...

And here he is arriving at an event with a dress code.

Another event, another dress code.

Edit: removed extraneous arguments. Point here is that Pichai observes event-specific dress codes rather than assuming that Google’s code applies.

What's your point? I'm not suggesting that Sundar ALWAYS wears jeans and NEVER wears suits.

I'm saying that it is ACCEPTABLE to wear jeans, even in a professional setting. Jeans are "smart business attire." (If the dress code were "formal," that would be something else. But it isn't.)

What's your point? If you find a photo of Larry Page in pajamas then you should be able to wear that to any Google event?

The point is that Pichai observes the dress code requested by the event host.

Did I make it so obscurely?

To counter, the dress code was vague and imprecise. See my other comment here- >>42528218

EDIT: Actually, the poster above was not accurate. The dress code is found here- https://www.fide.com/docs/regulations/wrbc_regulations_2024_...

And it was much more precise than "smart business attire.".

Nope. It explicitly disallowed jeans.
