Nauzene tablets are pretty good for me. Cold rag is good as well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What is the difference between dress slacks and slacks for women? I figure this might be an easily lost nuance in the dress code, but I at least want to know what I might be flouting.

Ginger beer is da bomb. I tend to bring a bottle on car trips with certain car-sickness-prone-people.

Because books.
I usually fight nausea with a few crackers first.

Also those wristband things can help (or just pressing down on the same pressure point.)
Tommy, if you can get someone to press three fingers on the inside of each your wrists for a minute or so (pressing really hard into the corded veins you can feel there), that should help.
Note, pressing yourself on one wrist can also get rid of hiccups.

Definitely not khaki--those are called out. In my head, dress slacks are lined, but this is southern California, and they can't possibly want women who are not me to only wear lined pants all year long.

I've never thought about it too closely, but I would think that dress slacks/slacks for women/trousers all would be roughly synonymous. And opposed to more casual leg wear like jeans/chinos/khakis/cargo pants.
