Replying to @. ⬇️ The main problem with defining how to dress business casual is the lack of an across-the-board definition. This can become frustrating as more offices adopt a business-casual dress code or even newer dress code variations like "smart casual” or “dress for your day”
However, there are some unspoken rules that apply to most offices:

Business casual is typically defined as no jeans, no shorts, no short dresses or skirts for women, optional ties for men, and a rotation of button-downs or blouses. Business casual dressing is more about avoiding a list of "don'ts" than following a list of "dos" and can vary slightly depending on style, preference, and gender presentation.
Business-casual dos and don'ts
Although these will vary, check out this hit list of the main do's and don'ts for business casual before the next time you hit up your go-to store.
✅ Do: Choose clothes that fit you and make you look professional, such as tailored pants, blazers or jackets, and dresses.
❌ Don't: Wear baggy, old, or logo-ridden shirts or pants. Keep your ensemble looking fresh and clean.
✅ Do: Buy a few pairs of neutral pants and skirts that will work with different shirts. This will save you money and keep your outfits looking office-appropriate.
❌ Don't: Wear jeans, sneakers, distracting jewelry, or sandals to the office. These, for the most part, belong in your off-duty repertoire.
