What is Business Casual?



There has been much discussion about work attire, specifically what defines business casual. The words themselves are an oxmoron. How casual can you be at work? Not, too casual. The word is not to be taken literally.

Certainly what you wear to work is determined by your own work environment. You have to act as a member of your work team. And while you may not be required to wear a uniform, there is a dress code. In smaller companies it may be implied, but you can certainly observe it by watching other sucessful women where you work. If in doubt, consult your HR department.

Simply stated, your business casual work wardrobe should be just that. Clothing that is reserved for work. If you keep this in mind, your work attire will always be clean, pressed and ready to wear, and you will always be appropriately attired for the challenges of your day.
