What is Business Casual?

Business casual is a dress code that bridges the gap between formal business attire and casual wear. For men, this usually means dress pants or khakis paired with a collared shirt (button-down or polo), with or without a blazer. Ties are generally not required. For women, business casual includes slacks, skirts, blouses, knit tops, or dresses that are professional but not overly formal. This dress code is common for corporate events, networking functions, and daytime professional gatherings. The key is to look neat and professional while maintaining comfort.
