Fridays at the office are considered business casual. What does that mean exactly? Business is business and casual is casual, so how do you combine the two styles? Friday is dress-down day, so you know that business casual doesn’t mean a suit, but it does mean looking nice and tidy but still a little relaxed.
Let’s break down what Business Casual is not. Keep the following for your weekend or home wardrobe: zip-up hoodies, suit jackets, jean jackets, slogan tees, midriff-baring tops, tank tops, distressed jeans, spandex pants, stirrup pants, jumpsuits, bike shorts, sweatpants, miniskirts, sheer tops, tank tops, flip-flops, sneakers, and sandals. Always remember that the first word in business casual is “business,” and that casual doesn’t mean a day at the beach.
Business casual should always include high-quality pieces, socks or stockings, appropriate underwear, shoes in good condition, matching accessories, and, for women, clean, styled hair and make-up.
Business casual should always include high-quality pieces, socks or stockings, proper underwear, shoes in good condition, matching accessories, and for women, neat, styled hair and makeup. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the types of shoes that are considered business casual to complete your outfit.
Slingbacks, women’s shoes with a cut-out heel and a strap that extends behind the ankle, defy the simple categorization they once did. Years ago, slingbacks were only appropriate during the summer months and were considered an everyday shoe. No self-respecting woman south of the Mason-Dixon Line would be caught dead in a pair of slingbacks before Memorial Day or after Labor Day. Now, with the increasing selection of women’s slingbacks, you can find a pair for every season and every occasion, from staying home to wedding attire. The appropriateness of a slingback is determined by the shoe’s design, material, embellishments, and whether or not it contributes to the overall look desired with the outfit.
You need to look at the whole spectrum and make suggestions to match slingbacks with outfits for every occasion
You need to look at the full spectrum of situations and make suggestions for pairing slingbacks with outfits for every occasion. If you feel the shoes complement your outfit and feel comfortable wearing them, let your personal sense of style guide you. People judge others by their first impressions, and watches, handbags, and shoes play a big role in first impressions. Cut corners elsewhere, but never with your shoes. No matter what style you wear, make sure your shoes are in A-1 condition and in perfect condition. Casual shoes should be kept in the same pointed, polished, and scuff-free shape as more dressy shoes. Don’t wear 4-inch heels with a pair of dress pants and a sweater. These types of shoes look best with a suit or trouser suit.
For men, business shoes should definitely not include tennis shoes. There is nothing more tacky than a man in dress pants wearing a pair of tennis shoes. Styles range from loafers to lace-ups, leaving a lot of room for comfort and budget preferences. Make sure the heels and fabric are clean, the leather is polished or the suede is brushed. Wearing these types of shoes to complete your business casual look will make you look GQ to the fullest.
The old saying “People take on the character of their costume” is not a myth
The old saying , “People take on the character of the costume” is not a myth. Because of this fact, there should be more to a company’s “day job” than the day job. If the definitions of male and female seem too rigid, complain where the work ends. Business owners tend to complain about the business casual attitudes that accompany the day job because they have watched them develop over time. Therefore, it is important to maintain the level of business awareness dictated by the relevant company.
On the other hand, companies that regularly demand a high-stress, fast-paced level of productivity from their employees may benefit from taking a more relaxed approach once a week, perhaps allowing employees to start the weekend more relaxed and return on Monday feeling more mentally prepared for the new work week.

No matter what kind of clothes you wear, causal or not, you should always remember that you are still in business.
No matter what you wear, whether it’s casual or not, you should always remember that you’re still in business. Don’t be embarrassed if you run into your CEO or a client visiting the office. Be comfortable, but remember that you’re still at work. Your everyday work shoes can be loafers or lace-ups, heels, or flats, as long as they’re clean and look nice and presentable. Be comfortable but still professional. This is business casual.
