Business Casual – The Dress Code Explained
Today we’re talking about an important topic: dress codes. Since I’m running a Men’s magazine, we’re explaining that first, I hope we can talk about the ladies soon. Every now and then, I’m asked how the dress code business casual works, today I will explain you how to do it. Usually, the term ‘Business Casual’ is written on an invite after a business day – which means your most likely attending a business event. The easier my solution – but we will explain later.
Of course, the dress code business casual allows a lot of room of interpretation. It’s after a tough working day? Why not an easy solution?
The good thing about business casual, it works the same way in every season – wearing a suit is always possible! Dependent on temperature, just the fabric changes. Doesn’t make sense to wear linen during Winter and tweed in Summer?

Business Casual – Remove Your Tie!
You’re running around in a suit the whole day? Anyway tired, up for a drink and a chat with your colleagues? The tie looks classy but it’s not always comfortable. Event though the dress code business casual is often mixed up with smart casual, I do have a separate solution here:
Remove Your Tie!
Sounds too simple? Dependent on what suit you’re wearing, you can also get rid of the belt. The advantage of all this: you don’t have to run home to change clothes.
Basically, you can use components from the dress code smart casual. But I do believe, the dress code business casual is a bit more classy. It’s less colors and sneakers and more of an understatement. Whilst smart casual can be pretty trendy and fashionable, I would recommend to go for an easygoing but still classy style here.
