What is considered BUSINESS CASUAL?

[Syringer]

I know that Business Formal Attire would be a full suit w/ tie and everything...

But what is Business Casual considered as?

Thanks a lot for the help!

I would say a buttoned, collared shirt with khakis is generally the "casual business" uniform. You could also wear a polo shirt or sweater, and flat-front khakis or corduroys instead of slacks.

Khaki pants, button-down shirt, navy blue blazer, no tie.

1. Dockers (or equivalent) CLEANED and pressed and worn w/a nice belt
2. Golf shirt or button up shirt, open at collar, no tie
3. Shoes to match belt
4. Nice socks. Matching pants is ideal, but black always works.

No sandals. Oh, and get a haircut.

shirt (no tie) and khakis, polo shirts work too.

Depending on the workplace it could also be jeans and a button down shirt, but I wouldn't necessarily assume that, generally it's not.

At the company I work for "business casual" usually means a bathrobe

 

[theknight571]

Docker type pants, conservative styled button-up or polo style shirt, an optional sweater and nice shoes (no tennis shoes or sandals but not wing-tips either).

At least this is what I wear and my workplace is considered business casual.

On Friday's we can sometimes get away with jeans and tennies but not every Friday.

LOL...when I hit reply there were no other responses.

khakis or slacks, some shirt with a collar, casual shoes (loafers and boots fine). You can also wear a sports coat or blazer if you want. Don't wear a tie though. If you wear a sports coat then a shirt without a collar would also do.

When I worked at (out of business) Flashcom, our business casual allowed for mohawks (in net-ops at least), huge JNCO pants, orange beanies, etc... It was such a wonderful place to work. And then I threw and empty Mickey's beer bottle at their building when I was drunk and vomited in the parking lot at our 'farewell' party...
