<\/p>\nBoom.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve done it. You\u2019ve landed the new dream job.<\/p>\n
Your first day is Friday and your new boss has casually flicked you the text:
\n\u201cJust wear business casual.\u201d<\/p>\n
Or, you\u2019ve finally schmoozed your way to an invite for that big ticket industry event. And as you\u2019re scanning the details you see the dress code.<\/p>\n
Yep, you guessed it.<\/p>\n
And like any occasion that has a set attire, you want to make the right impression.<\/p>\n
The good news? You\u2019re in the right place to learn how.<\/p>\n
Business casual is a dress code that has divided opinion for decades. It\u2019s also the most common.<\/p>\n
And as workplace dress codes become less formal, our research suggests it will become even more popular.<\/p>\n
This article will define business casual attire, explore its history and key elements, and feature a complete style guide for each clothing type and for different industries of work.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll also fill you in on some optional pieces, what not to wear, and some emerging business casual trends.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Model wearing State & Liberty Dress Shirt and State & Liberty Stretch Suit Pants<\/p>\n
Put simply:<\/p>\n
Business casual for men = a button-down shirt, dress pants or khakis\/chinos, and nice shoes.<\/strong><\/p>\n As a general rule, business casual is less formal than a suit, but more formal than jeans. <\/p>\n Model wearing Mizzen+Main Rockwell Vest<\/p>\n For one, you should always conform to company culture. If it\u2019s an industry event, consider the dress culture of the industry as a whole.<\/p>\n As an example, if you\u2019re in Silicon Valley, business casual is the same as formal: a black t-shirt, jeans, and a zip hoodie.<\/p>\n But if you\u2019re a banker, business casual is a bit different. You might pair chinos and loafers with a tucked in polo and a woven belt. That said, millennial business casual isn\u2019t all beanbags and hackie-sacks. Guys in their late 20\u2019s to their early 40\u2019s are ditching sneakers in favor of a more classy look like loafers, though the trend is still toward more slim and fitted clothes.<\/p>\n This is a classic business casual outfit example for a more casual white collar environment.<\/p>\n The lilac dress shirt contrasts well with the check patterned charcoal dress pants and drives home the creative flair that business casual allows. The loafers and matching belt round out the outfit in traditional business casual style.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As a general rule, you\u2019ll be fine with a collared shirt and slacks. So long as your clothes are ironed or steamed, you\u2019ll look neat and put together, which is the most important consideration.<\/p>\n Of course, you don\u2019t have to ditch the jacket entirely\u2014you can still rock it with a few modifications. Here I\u2019m wearing a classic navy blazer, but my shirt is a bright floral piece that really keeps things casual. I\u2019m also sporting a tool-watch, which is on the relaxed, weekender side of the spectrum. In hindsight, I\u2019d ditch the beaded bracelet. It looks a bit off, but I\u2019m glad it\u2019s there so you can see what works and what doesn\u2019t. <\/p>\n These are the key guidelines for each individual clothing type that make up a standard business casual outfit.<\/p>\n The shirt is at the heart of any business casual outfit.<\/p>\n One major benefit to business casual is that it allows some leeway in terms of shirt styles. Again, your company culture will weigh in here.<\/p>\n Since you probably won\u2019t be wearing a\u00a0tie, opt for a shirt with a nicely fitted collar that hugs your neckline on its own.<\/p>\n Slim fit is still in trend, but if slim doesn\u2019t fit your\u00a0body type,\u00a0stick to a classic fit.<\/p>\n A few of my favorite brands for comfortable, flexible shirts suited to an office environment are\u00a0Mizzen + Main, and\u00a0State & Liberty.<\/p>\n Mizzen + Main is a fantastic choice\u00a0if you want to go classic all the way. I recommend them if you want a more fitted look than what your dad wore, but you still want that timeless, iconic businesswear feel.<\/p>\n State & Liberty is another top brand\u00a0for me, but their shirts are much more slim. The brand advertises to athletes and bodybuilders, but I think they work really well for skinny guys who are really looking to cut out the tailor. If you\u2019ve got more of a dad-bod, check out Mizzen + Main, but if you\u2019ve been chiseling down, State & Liberty is more flattering.<\/p>\n Your business casual shirt should always be tucked in. Depending on your workplace (or the weather), chances are you won\u2019t be wearing a jacket or additional layer at all times.<\/p>\n Because your shirt will be more prominently on display, it\u2019s important that it\u2019s not only tucked in, but tucked in properly<\/p>\n To be continued…<\/strong><\/p>\n Ngu\u1ed3n: theadultman.com<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Boom.
