Shirt
|
Depending on the occasion, a sports coat with a nice solid or striped button-down shirt is appropriate. Make sure the stripes are subtle and the clothing is not too loud. |
 |
|
Coat
|
The coat should be a neutral color such as black, navy, gray, or tweed. |
|
Slacks
|
Choose a pair of slacks that look professional. They should fit properly and coordinate with your shirt. Choose a neutral color such as black brown, tan, gray, or navy. No jeans! |
 |
|
Tie
|
A tie is not necessary for business casual attire. |
|
Shoes
|
Business casual shoes are similar to business professional shoes. They should match your outfit and be cleaned and polished. Preferably, they should be leather. Although lace-up shoes are not necessary, be sure to pick a style that is conservative and still looks professional. |
 |
|
Extras
|
Accessories should be kept to a minimum. The only jewelry you should wear is a gold or silver watch, a wedding band, and/or a class ring. Also, always wear dark colored socks and be sure the leather of your belt matches your shoes. |
