Please hope me figure out what to wear to dinner tomorrow night...

The missus and I have been invited to dinner out with her boss and her husband. Yea! But...Dinner will be at a very high-end seafood restaurant. Checking the website, they state "business casual attire."

I always find that phrase utterly unhelpful, as the offices I worked at were cool with jeans and polos, and I'm pretty sure that's not the case with this place. But, what does that mean in a high-dollar place like this? Complicating my problem is that, for reasons of weight loss and budget, my closet is devoid of anything that might pass for khakis, or any other such "business casual" thing. Right now, the only "better" pants I have are a sort-of-dressy pair of jeans and a pair of cords (it's gonna be 90 tomorrow. I dunno if cords would be a good choice.) I have a pair of tan chinos, but they are a bit loose and long, so they puddle at my feet. I also have the pants from a suit. They're black.

Shirts are in better shape, so I think I'm good there. Shoes...well...it's between a pair of brown slip-ons, black dress wingtips, or a pair of olive green canvas high-tops.

Gah! I hate these situations. I'm going to be mentally beating myself up for looking like a bum, no matter what I wear, but I need to look like I at least made an effort.
