I agree. The problem is that "business casual" is different for each part of the country & heck, probably for different businesses in the same city! My sister works in a business casual place & wears capris & open-toed shoes all the time. But a few years ago, I worked in a business casual place & that was not allowed. So short of them going over every single choice of dress, there's going to be confusion.
Personally, I think if you look nice, then what does it matter? You shouldn't be going in something you wore to a 4th of July picnic, but why need to wear a business suit either??? I'm wearing--don't know what they are called--capris or crop pants or whatever they are. They are a nice pant material & black. I plan on wearing them with nice shirts and open-toed shoes. I wear the same thing to church & look fine.

Sometimes even Catholic school dress codes can be confusing! When I was in high school, I got told by the dean during lunch one day that my navy pants were the "right kind of pant". They were navy pants for goodness sake--how many different kinds are there!
Unless they want to make all of us buy a uniform from them (wouldn't Merrill love that!), then they've got to know that the attire is open to different interpretation.
