Casual clothing is a description for clothes that make a person look relaxed and at ease.
Knowing what casual clothing means is important for employees.
They should not give the wrong impression to their bosses by dressing in their house clothes or as though they are going out on the town.
According to Career Services at Virginia Tech, men should veer toward overdressing by wearing upscale clothes.
Although they can always take off a tie or unbutton a button to make their look more casual,
they might not be able to camouflage the sloppiness of an overly casual outfit.
They should consider wearing a tie, long-sleeved shirt, dark socks and leather shoes.
They should also groom themselves well by keeping up their facial hair and making their hair look neat.
When it comes to work attire, think structured blazers and tailored pants for creating a polished look. A properly fitted blazer instantly pulls together your look and can elevate simple blouses or a cotton-button up,
while tailored pants are both flattering and professional.
A sheath dress can be switched up with a blazer, a cardigan, layered with a button up blouse, or worn on its own.
A few separates can make up a variety of outfits: sweaters, button ups, skirts, cardigans, blazers, dresses.
Ankle pants are also great for casual Fridays, while still nailing that perfectly put-together look. And take a page out of Grace Kelly’s style book and pair the ankle pants with a sleeveless turtleneck in a neutral color.
Oh, and the quintessential classic staple – a trench coat.
The warrior of the classic wardrobe, the perfect addition for work, nighttime, as well as the everyday look.
The more Minimal Classic you are,
the more you may prefer a single-breasted trench coat.
