Summary

Business casual is probably one of the least understood descriptions of appropriate business attire in the workplace. This common label is subject to a wide spectrum of interpretation. Business-casual clothing was meant to provide an opportunity to work in a more relaxed, yet still professional, type of clothing. With so many choices, it's easier than ever to commit a fashion faux pas that's not only embarrassing, but also detrimental to your career.

So how has the meaning of "business casual" evolved over the years? It was originally defined as no tie, button-down shirt and slacks for men, and a skirt or slacks and blouse or shirt for women. The intention was to get away from the more formal suit or sport coat-and-tie look for men and suit look for women.

In addition, business casual can be a more casual denim shirt for men with a casual tie (madras plaid), and perhaps a blazer or a vest or sweater over a shirt, depending on what is accepted in the particular industry. In many instances, business casual has become even more informal, allowing for a polo shirt or corporate logo shirt and a skirt or slacks.
