What business casual means, and what to wear

What does business casual mean?

It's the dress code between a suit and weekend clothes: tailored trousers or chinos, a shirt, a polo or a fine knit, a blazer when the day calls for it, and leather shoes. No tie or full suit, but no hoodies, athletic wear or beat-up trainers either. Offices differ, so look at what your manager wears on a normal day and match that.

Can I wear jeans in a business casual office?

Many offices allow dark jeans, especially on Fridays. Keep them dark, clean and straight, and wear them with something smart, like a blazer, a crisp shirt or a fine knit, and leather shoes. Light washes, rips and baggy cuts read as weekend. On a day with a client meeting or a presentation, choose trousers instead, whatever the dress code allows.

How does business casual change in winter?

Swap fabrics rather than formality: wool or flannel trousers instead of cotton, a merino or cashmere jumper over a shirt, a wool coat over everything, and leather boots instead of loafers on wet days. Roll necks are business casual too, alone or under a blazer.

What is business casual for men?

Chinos or wool trousers, an oxford or button-down shirt, a polo or a merino jumper, an optional blazer, and loafers, derbies or leather boots. A belt that matches the shoes, socks that match the trousers, and the shirt tucked in. Navy, grey, stone and brown go with each other in any combination.

How do I build a business casual wardrobe?

Start with neutrals that all go together: two pairs of trousers (navy or charcoal, and a lighter one like stone or camel), three or four tops, one blazer and one pair of leather shoes or boots. Add colour through a knit or a shirt. Ten pieces like that make two weeks of outfits without repeating one.

Questions people ask

Are trainers business casual?

In many offices, clean minimal leather trainers are accepted with chinos and a knit. Running shoes and chunky trainers aren't. If you're unsure, wear loafers or boots.

Is a polo business casual?

Yes, a plain knit or piqué polo with chinos or trousers is business casual, especially in summer or a relaxed office.

Do I need a blazer for business casual?

Not every day. Keep one at work for meetings; a smart knit over a shirt works on other days.

What should I wear on my first day in a business casual office?

Lean slightly formal: tailored trousers, a crisp shirt or blouse, a blazer and leather shoes. You can dress down once you've seen what everyone wears.
