Casual Dress Policy, Japanese Style

Here are a few excerpts from the new 'casual dress' policy at the company I work for:

Prohibited Clothes
Gaiety of dress: scanty clothing, clothes with excessive ornamentation, fluorescence or spangle, etc.

Wearing sandals: You should not wear them at the common place such as guest room, meeting room, passages, etc.

- You should be always ready for a neat dress such as suits: especially in the departments you may see guests on urgent business. (italics added by me to denote confusion at the meaning of this phrase)

- You should put a shirt inside your trousers (excluding a fashionable shirt made for it outside trousers).

-You should ... dress yourself properly for fear of destroying office atmosphere. (Syncopation)

(thanks for the last one Dirk - how did I forget it!!!)

Or else... the dreaded syncopation...

"... dress yourself properly for fear of destroying office atmosphere. (Syncopation)"

Hey, I got a nice Hawaiian shirt that totally looks better outside of the trousers. Is it considered fashionable if I have no sense of style? (genetic weakness there)
