Step 1
Ask your human resources department for official guidelines. Business casual means different things at different companies. At a large corporation, it may mean a sport coat with a tie; at a smaller company, it may mean khakis and a polo shirt.
-
Step 2
Before you go casual, check your daily planner to make sure you don't have any meetings that require formal business attire.
-
Step 3
Select clean, pressed and wrinkle-free clothes. Your outfit should communicate professionalism.
-
Step 4
Wear a collared shirt with an undershirt. You can break up the oxford shirt monotony by wearing a linen or flannel shirt or one with a band collar. Knitted shirts and polo shirts are also generally acceptable. A casual sport coat is appropriate.
-
Step 5
Wear khakis, chinos, corduroys or other non-denim slacks. Check your company's policy before you decide to wear jeans to work.
-
Step 6
Be sure to wear a belt, and have it match the color of your shoes.
-
Step 7
Wear socks that match the color of your pants leave white socks or tube socks in your gym bag.
-
Step 8
Choose oxfords, loafers, rubber soled leather shoes or boots for casual day. Wingtips are often too formal. Worn-out shoes, sandals or athletic shoes don't make the grade.

on 11/22/2005 If you work at HP, you might consider wearing sandals. Sneakers are good, but may be considered too formal. Shorts are a must. And don't forget the ratty T-Shirt or tank top.
Think of it this way. If you would wear it out shopping, it's probably too formal. =0)
