"Hello, I'm Bruce Marshall fashion designer and Emmy Award nominated costume designer here to talk to you today about what it is to dress business casual. Now for instance like what I'm wearing. Business casual means, it's kind of just taken down a notch. So you don't necessarily need to wear your jacket and you definitely don't need to wear a necktie. And as you can see with a little simple pullover you kind of make it simple. You keep the buttons undone on your cuffs so you can really push it up when you need to really get to work, and that also, like I said with business casual. Just like business casual Friday's have become popular throughout the states. If you keep it casual it doesn't mean you should wear your old raggedy weekend T-shirts or your cutoff shorts. It means you stay professional but you keep it easy, you keep it simple, and that really works. Now as you always want to know when you're keeping things casual you want it to be really comfortable. So for instance you should always have a comfortable pair of shoes and it doesn't mean that it has to be sneakers or trainers, but basically a loafer. A simple shoe type like that always works. And remember gentlemen, your belt and your shoes should always match. That's another tip."
