What is Business Casual?

Business casual is what many offices without a suit requirement wear. A shirt without a tie or a fine sweater, with dress trousers in wool or cotton and leather shoes. A sport coat often belongs, a tie does not.

Typical

  • Oxford or poplin shirt, merino sweater
  • Wool trousers, gabardine trousers or chinos
  • Loafers, derbys or Budapesters
  • Sport coat that doesn't have to match the trousers

Better not

  • T-shirt and sweatshirt
  • Light sneakers and sandals
  • Washed-out jeans (in some offices, any jeans)
  • Tie without a sport coat

Better not like this

Swap one piece and the first outfit falls apart. Black smooth leather penny loafer instead of Dark brown suede penny loafer: Black smooth leather looks hard and out of place with light beige.
