Dress for Success: Business Casual vs. Business Professional
Rule #1 of Dress Codes: “You can never be too overdressed.”
Rule #2 of Dress Codes: “You can definitely be dressed for the wrong setting.”
Dressing appropriately helps you make the right impression and shows respect for the occasion!
Business Casual: A polished yet comfortable style.
- For Men: Collared shirts, polos, sweaters, slacks, and loafers. Avoid jeans, sneakers, and t-shirts.
- For Women: Blouses, dress shirts, knee-length skirts or slacks, flats or low heels. Avoid jeans, sneakers, and overly casual dresses.

Business Professional: A more formal and refined appearance.
- For Men: Tailored suits, dress shirts, ties, dress shoes, and minimal accessories.
- For Women: Suits or professional dresses, blouses, tailored pants or skirts, closed-toe heels, and minimal jewelry.
