I didn't read all 5 pages, so apologies if I'm being repetitive. I assume based on the dress code, OP goes to an office to work, and the company sounds like they want everyone, from office assistant to sales to executives to look uniform wear business casual. Sounds normal to me. And saying "suit material" means they know people will misinterpret what "suit material" is. Some people will try to get away with dark jeans as business casual, so they were specific to mention what kind of material is acceptable.

It says “proper” business attire. I noticed for men it just says a dress shirt, golf, or polo shirt, and dress slacks. Says nothing about a suit or tie. I thought business attire (not casual) meant a tie. Seems like men’s are more casual then woman’s attire.

We had uniforms. We had both skirts and slacks, heels and flats. If I wanted to work in the “club” I had to wear a dress.

Or you could, you know, ask the employer for clarification instead of endlessly speculating.

It's probably much better to listen to a bunch of strangers on the Inanet than ask the employer or observe what others in the position are wearing.
