Crack the dress code - business casual/ casual Friday (men’s edition)

To nail the right level of casual for your business, look at the everyday dress code. For most companies, business casual is as simple as WITH OR WITHOUT a blazer/ jacket. If you work in a company that usually requires a suit and tie, you should without a doubt choose the “with blazer”. Do let me know if you want me to help you with the shopping.

Here’s what you need to invest in:

Simply change your normal shirt with a denim one (not the baggy type). A casual, super stylish outfit in a flash!

No, you can not use your suit jacket. You need to invest in something different. More texture, perhaps a lighter shade of navy blue than your normal suit, so we can see you are indeed not using your suit (the lighter color, the more casual). Choose a “patch” instead of a “flap” pocket, preferably also with contrasting-colored buttons.

  1. Flannel. Be careful of materials that are too thin or shiny. Something with a bit more texture, looking less suit-ish, will look much better with casual pieces and materials as denim.

  2. Dark jeans. Straight/ slim cut, mid rise.

  3. Between flannel and jeans you’ll find the chino. Choose a slim model to avoid the “American tourist-look”. For color, my suggestion is navy and dark green.
