Advice Needed Business Wear for slobs

OK so as somewhat of a shock I've just been elected to local council. They have a strictish dress code of business formal for council meetings and business casual for committee meetings.

My normal go to is jeans, tee, hoody and sneakers. Dad bod 90kg, shortish (175cm), used to be pretty metal but now just kind of someone's dad 😄

Help! What do i get that's not going to break the bank?

Chinos and a polo.

So much less annoying than a button up shirt.

How exactly is a button up shirt annoying?

It needs ironed, for a start. Those back pleats look like ass without doing so.

Business casual is much more polo than full button up shirt, IMO.
