The job search engine Monster.com offers this definition: "In general, business casual means dressing professionally, looking relaxed yet neat and pulled together."

 

A more pragmatic definition is that business casual dress is a middle ground between business formal wear and street wear. Examples of apparel combinations that are considered appropriate business-casual dress are:

 

For women:

· Collared blouse

· Tennis/polo shirt

· Skirt

· Dress (wear a cover up if necessary)

· Trousers (such as khakis)

· Capris/long shorts are acceptable as casual dress if they are

           "tailored" and of a dress pant material

 

For men:

· Collared shirt

· Dress shirt (tie not required)

· Cotton trousers (such as khakis)

· NO Shorts

· Shoes (such as loafers) with socks

 

NO Denim,  or flip-flops.
