Dress slacks or khakis, a dress shirt or blouse, an open-collar or polo shirt, an optional tie or seasonal sport coat, a dress or skirt that is knee-length or below, a tailored blazer, a knit shirt or sweater, and loafers or dress shoes that cover all or most of the foot are all acceptable business casual attire.
Men’s Wear
- Button-up shirts with collars in any color can be counted as casual attire. Conservative patterns such as checks or stripes are also acceptable, whether or not they are paired with a tie.
- Ties should still have a conservative pattern to them, however. Avoid using novelty ties and instead opt for patterns such as dots, stripes, or checks. The majority of colors are acceptable.
- Pullovers and sweaters worn over a collared shirt are considered casual attire. Choose a sweater with a solid color, striped pattern, or another conservative pattern. The most effective colors are primary and jewel-toned hues.
- Dressy slacks, such as black dress pants in the winter or pressed khakis in the summer, worn with or without a sports jacket, are appropriate.
- Oxfords, loafers, or another comfortable yet dressy option, in brown or black, can be worn with this outfit. Shoes should be avoided.
Women’s Wear
- A suit or a skirt worn with a cardigan or jacket, for example – are more appropriate for formal occasions.
- Shirts and blouses in bright colors and collared button-down shirts are business casual. Stick to solid colors or muted patterns such as stripes or checks, and steer clear of low-cut shirts or patterns with many colors.
- Slacks and khakis are appropriate attire.
- A statement necklace or a cuff-style watch are examples of good pieces of jewelry. The material doesn’t need to be the highest quality; gemstones and other less formal materials are acceptable. Scarves may also be appropriate in some situations.
- Whether they are comfortable flats or loafers, or pumps, close-toed shoes should be worn. It can be any color, though black, brown, red, navy, and grey are the most appropriate choices for this occasion.
