I do get specific with my chapters. I highly recommend this as a yearly activity. I actually have a powerpoint presentation that discusses ritual attire, business attire, business casual (smart casual), and casual attire, and it comes with a "quiz" and a "what's wrong with this attire" section, so I can be sure that everyone understands. Most of the pictures are of members, but some on the quiz I pulled from public websites that had current styles, just to make sure that people could translate what I was saying into what's available today from popular stores. I usually present it at officer transition workshops so that the new officers are clued in first thing, and sometimes I even have the outgoing officers do a fashion show that includes appropriate and "near miss" attire.
I have to say, it made visits where I said "business casual" a lot easier to understand - no more jeans and sweatshirts, or jammie pants and bunny slippers when I was in a business suit.
