The New “Business Casual”

The new business casual dress code is a more relaxed and comfortable style, but one that still maintains a professional appearance.

For men: Appropriate business casual attire typically includes dress slacks or chinos, button-down shirt, dark socks, and dress shoes. It’s important to avoid wearing ill-fitting shirts, T-shirts, jeans, sneakers, or flip-flops, as these are considered too casual for business casual settings.

For women: Business casual attire can include dress pants or skirts, blouses or sweaters, and closed-toe shoes with a moderate heel or flats. It’s best to avoid wearing overly revealing or casual clothing, such as tank tops, short skirts, or flip-flops.

For both: When dressing for a job interview in a business casual environment, it’s a good idea to err on the side of dressing more formally. Consider wearing a jacket to make a strong first impression. This can help demonstrate your professionalism and show you take the interview seriously.

Dress for the career you have and for the job you want. This is important. Even in a business casual setting, it’s beneficial to dress slightly more formally than the dress code requires in order to set yourself apart and project a polished and put-together look. Some other occasions to dress well are funerals, business travel, a court appearance, business networking, a sales position, or entering a bank for a loan.

It IS possible to dress casually and comfortably, and still look sharp in a business casual setting. Choose tailored clothing that fits well and allows for ease of movement. Select fabrics that are breathable and comfortable, such as cotton or wool blends. For women, accessorize with tasteful jewelry, belts, or scarves to add personal style while maintaining professionalism.
