Just want to get some examples or guidelines as to what is considered "resort casual" and what is not. I know what business causal is and semi-formal, but have not heard a good explaination of resort casual.

Resort wear is a specialized clothing style, as well as a year-round fashion "season". Sometimes known as "cruise wear",
From walking shorts, caftans and sandals, to full-length evening dresses for women and light dinner jackets for men, resort wear is unique in its design and function. Resort wear is generally made from cotton, silk, denim, microfiber, straw and poplin that are easy to pack, lightweight and breathable. They are easy to clean and look great without ironing or fuss, much like the new hair styles that casual, yet very fashionable.
It is characterized by the "nautical" style, inspired by sailor and yachting themes, classic Hawaiian prints of palm trees and hula girls, brushed denim from San Francisco, bright floral prints from South America, minty greens, yellows, blues and whites from the Mediterranean and natural materials and glove-weight leathers from the Caribbean. Large hats, sunglasses, open-toed shoes and innovative waistlines complete the look of sun-soaked destinations. The style has already been the subject of small runway shows in New York, Paris and Milan.

Resort casual is not that much different from business casual, except, somewhat wilder (but nice) shirts are permitted.
Usually, Khakis pants and polo shirts are safe.
Walk into a nice local hotel. What you see is basically a resort casual.

almost the same as business casual but thinks like dockers and polo shirts are ok...no flip flops..nice sandals or shoes......and if this is a corporate event think of the people that will be there with you and who you are trying to impress....your best bet is to brings some different degrees of casual wear and scoop out what others are wearing..this way you can't go wrong

The BEST outfit is a Golf Shirt or a button down short-sleeved polo shirt with khaki trousers and dressy leather sandals (Not rubber flip-flops)
