Men's Casual Office Wear Explained
Men are often confused when it comes to men’s casual office wear and sometimes stuck between their own understanding and office guidelines, they end up wearing attires which ruin the entire look. There is a broad line between casual wear and casual office wear and there are certain clothes which are a big no for casual office wear or even the office parties. Even if your office allows wearing jeans on weekends, don’t even think about those rugged and torn jeans which you wear during the long drives on a lazy Sunday.
Business Casual dressing is a concept which dates back to the 1980s and originated from the Silicon Valley; where the white collar workers used to spend major amount of time stuck to their computers and to provide little comfort to them, ‘Friday casual allowed’ concept was introduced. Since then, fashion houses and clothing lines have come up with their own separate business lines and labels for Friday Dressing.
Casual office wear, also known as Business Casuals for men include a suit or blazer, casual shirts (simple, not jazzy), comfort fit jeans, khakis, chinos and polo t-Shirts (solid, stripes or with a simple logo etc), sneakers, casual shoes, simple sports shoes and casual leather belts. These are few of the quintessential clothes which you should have in your wardrobe to complete the casual office wear look for men.
Do's and Don'ts of Men's Casual Office Wear
DO's
Choose a color palette in which the top and bottom colors are complementing or you can also choose contrast colors, but ensure the colors are not very bright. If wearing jeans, it should be a perfectly fitted jeans and not a skinny or lose fitted one. Have solid colored T shirts like white, black, red, grey and blue so that they can be matched with khakis or jeans. Go for checked, solid or light colored pure cotton shirts during summers to feel cool and comfortable. Chinos in grey, khaki, black and navy can be paired with different colored T-shirts and shirts; you can also try them with half sleeve shirts. For winters, one denim jacket and a leather jacket is a must for your wardrobe as a part of casual office wear. In shoes department, a white sneaker, monk strap shoes, Chelsea boots and brogues go well with casual office wear.
DON'Ts
Coming to the don'ts when it comes to men’s casual office wear, few things to keep in mind can save you from any disappointing situation. Never wear T-shirts with trousers as T shirts are meant to be worn with jeans, khakis or chinos as a part of Friday dressing. Don't wear formal shoes with T shirts or casual shirts and refrain from wearing jewelry, but if you can’t resist the urge then try a thin gold / platinum chain.
