Summary

  • Dress codes depend on a company's industry and culture.

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.

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.
