Business Casual... How do YOU Define?

How do YOU define business casual? I tend to overdress for stuff like this.

Slacks and a dress shirt at minimum, often with a tie.

What about you?

Sounds good to me. I try to stay away from Dockers in that environment, and go with nicer slacks. I also wear dress shoes, not boat shoes or the more casual type loafers that could also pass as walking/hiking shoes.

Dress shirt, nice pair of chinos, and some dress shoes or shiny loafers.

No pants.

Khakis and a Polo shirt tucked in and with a belt. Shoes that don't expose the toes.

"Business casual" means not a suit. Beyond that, you decide what you look good in. For me, that would include a jacket and tie.

Business in the front, party in the back.

Slacks and a nice sport shirt. Nice loafers and a leather belt. Tinfoil hat.

Now let's try evening resort casual.

I only own one pair of shoes. Boots.

I'll polish them, put on my nice jeans and wear a button up shirt (all my shirts are button up though since I don't really believe in band t's) a jacket and a tie. I won't tuck my shirt in.

Then again, thats how I dress most days anyways (minus the polished boots and my one pair of nice jeans...

)

there's no such thing as "business casual".

business casual always seemed like an excuse for certain men to wear their golf polos.

and IMO, any suit or dress slacks & button down without the tie just looks sloppy and incomplete. is it that hard to put one on? and how does having one off make the work environ suddenly progressive?

and it still amazes me that many guys think all button down shirts can be worn untucked, when in reality, they look like their wearing pajamas.

and yes, i'll never go back to a desk job. NEVER!

Depends on the shirt

Mine aren't nice enough to warrant tucking them in...

For me its shorts and a wife-beater.

The minimum you'd let your boss see you wear at the workplace.

Phalex · #14 10-02-2008, 06:15 AM

Slacks (not Jeans) and a shirt with a collar.

buzzbass · #15 10-02-2008, 08:07 AM

dockers and a collered shirt of some type, tie is optional depending on the situation.

To me it means putting on my dressy thong.

Anywho, I don't work in an office (I teach MS), and we have no dress code. For me, khackis with a polo or button down shirt (tucked in) and shoes is "business casual."

But then again, I tend to dress like Kramer from Seinfeld...
