Hier de definitie van Business Casual
Compared to the dress code of many blue-collar and service workers, business-casual dress is not a uniform. In contrast to business informal, there is no generally accepted definition of business casual wear. On the more casual end, jeans can be permitted, while at the more formal end, neckties may be required for men. The interpretation of business casual differs widely among organizations and is often a cause of confusion.[3]
The New York Times cites job search engine Monster.com's definition:
"In general, business casual means dressing professionally, looking relaxed yet neat and pulled together." [4]
An employment counseling office at an American university defines business casual dress as a middle ground between business formal wear and casual wear.[5] The following are examples of appropriate workplace apparel from some organizations with a business-casual dress code:[citation needed]
for women: A reasonable length skirt (not mini-skirt) or full-length trousers of a non-jeans material combined with a top (such as a dress shirt, polo, or sweater set) is considered acceptable. An informal dress with appropriate skirt length is also acceptable.
for men: A combination of collared shirt (such as a dress shirt or polo shirt), cotton trousers (such as khakis or blue, green, brown, or black trousers) with a belt, and modest shoes (such as loafers) with socks is generally acceptable. A blazer or business jacket can optionally be added.
Unacceptable for either gender: gym clothes, rumpled or ripped clothing, miniskirts, underwear as outerwear, inappropriately revealing attire such as bare midriffs, and flip-flops.[4] Many corporations also frown upon open-toed shoes and shorts.
