Dressing Casual With Jeans

A casual dress code differs from a business casual dress code in many ways.

Dressing casual with jeans. Avoid wearing polo shirts to an interview even if they are acceptable for the job in question. The jeans are an equal partner in this pairing after all and must be chosen with the same careful consideration including before you step into your favorite pair of dress shoes.

Jeans and a sweater. The more your shoes and jeans seem to be at odds the more you look like a tacky sot. Do not wear jeans or shorts.

More than anything however the rub seems to be the juxtaposition of a blazer button up and tie with denim. Jeans are only proper attire on the weekly jeans day which many companies offer. They need to flow together to create a complete look.

There are a lot of ways to vary this one up. V necks with collared dress shirts underneath look great. Jeans are inherently casual but some are dressier than others.

Chief among them is that in a business casual environment shirts for men usually have collars and the pants worn are khaki. Choose your shoes wisely. Yes but they ve got to be the right pair as with all most things business casual related there seem to be debates arguments and possibly even worse surrounding the question of whether jeans should be considered business casual attire.

Whip them out for cocktails at fancy bars evenings at trendy concerts or theater productions and other sophisticated but casual settings. For men appropriate business casual attire is dress slacks or chinos a button down shirt dark socks and dress shoes. For daytime at the office go for a minimalist chic look in slim black denim jeans and a grey cashmere sweater layered over a simple white tank accessorized with a classic black leather tote and pumps.
