The dress code for my new job is described as "somewhat casual but neat " what does this mean? I'm going to b e work in a bio lab if this helps?

I think it means no jeans, t-shirts, or athletic shoes even if they are new and clean. I think they mean chinos or khakis for trousers, a shirt with a collar (Polo shirt or sport shirt), leather casual shoes and dark socks. You can't go wrong with that to start. After a few weeks, you'll get a better feel for what they mean. Observe what the supervisors and star performers wear, and you probably won't go wrong.

Means you don't need to wear a tie but a shirt will do.Also dress pant in cotton would be okay.Of course ,all dresses are required to be neat so don't wear the same thing without washing it.Since you work at a lab some sort of coat must be necessary for you to wear that's why casual wear will be comfortable rather than formal.

This means that you don't have to wear formal business clothes, but they should be in good condition, as should your body. Just make sure that you are clean, your hair has a neat appearance (and, if long, is tied back in a tight ponytail), and you aren't wearing stained shirts or torn jeans. In bio labs, there are sometimes dangerous chemicals or biohazards, and employers generally don't want much skin exposed. A nice, clean, long-sleeved shirt with long pants and closed-toed shoes is probably your best option.

I would take this to mean no jeans. If you're a guy, I'd wear nice pants like Dockers and a dress shirt or polo shirt. If you're a woman, I'd wear nice pants and casual tops, either button down or pullover -- no spaghetti straps or tank tops. Look professional, but not like you're about to step into a meeting.

With a description like that, I would start with casual dress pants like Dockers and a button down or polo-type shirt. If you notice people wearing jeans, then go with that. Neat would imply no stained, torn, ripped, or badly wrinkled clothing regardless of jeans or Dockers.

Casual typically refers to slacks, such as Dockers or similar type pants. Button down blouses, not pull over T shirts that show the midriff. Comfortable shoes, not open toe sandals or heels.

casual as in you dont have to dress up too much you can wear normal clothes like pants or shorts but you cant come in wearing torn shorts and pants and stained shirts etc.

That sounds like dressy casual to me.
Guys: kacki pants and shirt. No tie.
girls: slacks and shirt with flats. No need for stockings or heels. No ragged bluejeans or middie shirts. No t-shirts with sayings.

It could mean jeans is good condition and no collared shirt, or nice pants and a collared shirt, or anything in between.
Best bet is to call HR and ask them. That's what they get paid for. :)
