Many businesses allow business casual dress on Fridays; other permit it all the
time. As a result, more and more people are finding themselves asking, “What is
business casual?” Broadly speaking, business casual means dressing professionally
but also looking relaxed. For women, this is usually means wearing skirt or slacks
with a blouse or sweater. For men, it means no tie- and certainly no suit. Khakis and
a short-sleeved knit shirt are popular in the summer; in other seasons, men wear a
jacket over a shirt left open at the collar. Business casual, however, is not a license
for being sloppy or dressing inappropriately. In other words, it does not mean
wearing shorts, low-cut skirts, tank or halter tops, sandals, flip-flops, jeans, or T-
shirts.
