Business outfit vs. business casual - what are the differences?

Firstly, we want to explain the differences between the two dress codes in more detail so that you are aware of the special features of the dress variants.

Standard Business	Business Casual
Focus on the classic colours black and white	Outfit may be more colourful
Women preferably with buttoned blazers	open blazer desirable
A tie is a must for men	No tie necessary

In the Standard Business area, clothing is worn less casually. Some people feel quite restricted and forced in such a dress code. The business casual outfit, on the other hand, allows for more colour and a more relaxed style. Experience shows that people who can decide between the two dress codes prefer the casual dress code.

Casual business casual outfit for women - that's part of it!

A casual outfit in business casual style consists of various items of clothing. First of all, blouses are worth mentioning. To create an even more business-casual Outfit a blazer should not be missing. Depending on the job, trousers may be compulsory. In this case, fabric trousers are a good choice, please do not wear jeans. If alternatives to trousers are permitted, skirts and dresses are relevant. Add the right shoes and accessories. Your casual business outfit is complete. Of course, you can also find out some details about the various items of clothing here.

Blouses as a timeless piece of clothing

Blouses are the absolute classics when it comes to dress code for work. There are many employers and clients in the service sector who specify blouses as workwear. There may even be specifications regarding the colour or pattern of the tops. In this area, there are general go's and some no-go's that must be observed.

Go
- Blouse does not necessarily have to be white
- Pastel colours such as light blue are possible
- Striped blouses go down well
- Always match the bra to the top

No Go
- Blouses that are too tight
- neckline too low
- Transparent blouses in white or skin colour
- plain tank tops

Blazer as the icing on the cake

Blazers are standard clothing in many companies. This outerwear is suitable for business and immediately makes you look much more professional. The blazer with its simple cut should go well with the blouse. If you want to emphasise your seriousness and look good all round, don't wear a patterned blazer. Plain blazers in beige or grey go well with almost any blouse. A subtle striped blazer may also be an option. To make the outfit look even more casual, wear the jacket open over the blouse.

Trousers, skirts or dresses - what's best?

In contrast to the normal business Outfit suit trousers are not compulsory for the casual dress code. You often have the choice between trousers, dresses and skirts for a casual outfit. The following options are possible:

• crease-resistant chinos are possible
• Comfortable trousers are ideal
• Plain and dark jeans are permitted
• Simple skirts in midi length (pencil skirt or A-line skirt)
• skin-coloured tights go well with skirts and dresses

In addition to the many gos, there are no gos that you should definitely pay attention to with regard to your dress code. Casual dress in a business setting should not be confused with casual and light leisure wear. No Gos are:

• Destroyed jeans - this also includes jeans with only small "rips" and heavy washes
• Casual trousers
• Jeggings and leggings
• Skirts and dresses that are too tight or too short

You should also choose your skirts and dresses carefully. You certainly want to be able to walk normally during your working hours without any movement restrictions. It's also annoying to constantly tug at your skirt and pull it down again.

If you are wearing a dress, a blazer is a good way to loosen things up. This way, the dress doesn't look too casual, but is more business-appropriate.

Shoes to match the casual dress code

When it comes to shoes for your business casual outfit, you can choose between ballerinas, pumps and flat and lace-up shoes made from smooth leather. The shoes can come in the colours black or beige. Nude is also a good option. Important factors when it comes to footwear are

• Cleanliness
• Convenience
• maximum heel height 5cm

The colour of the shoes should of course match the rest of the outfit. In terms of style, pumps and ballerinas generally go well with different trousers and skirts.

Round off a business casual outfit - accessories as the finishing touch

Accessories round off every Outfit well. However, you shouldn't overdo it with accessories. Discreet is the motto in this area. Simple and unobtrusive necklaces, earrings and bracelets are fine for everyday business wear. Discreet bracelets are also permitted. There is also nothing wrong with a wristwatch. Wristwatches with a leather strap are recommended.

The right dress code for trade fair hostesses - here's what it looks like!

Would you like to work as a student or part-time hostess at a trade fairyou can't go wrong with a black trouser suit combined with a white, opaque blouse for a business look. The colours black and white are generally very popular as they stand for timelessness and elegance. As an alternative to the trouser suit, you can opt for a suit.

One costume is a knee-length skirt with a blouse and blazer.

In contrast to a trouser suit, a suit looks a little more feminine. It also adds a little more elegance. Discreet accessories are also a good choice for hostesses. A good example of a hostess outfit is:

• plain white blouse (long sleeves)
• Black trouser suit (blazer and trousers in combination)
• black pumps with a maximum heel height of 5cm
• Wristwatch with leather strap

A good alternative to a trouser suit is an outfit with a skirt. The skirt outfit includes a white blouse, black blazer and pencil skirt as well as skin-coloured tights and closed ballerinas or pumps.

Men's dress code - casual business outfit in general

The right outfit is very important in the business world, not only for women but also for men. Seriousness is a top priority. The right combination of different items of clothing is therefore relevant. A business-appropriate Outfit for men includes shirts, jackets, suit trousers or trousers, accessories and elegant shoes.

Shirts for men - classics among men's outfits

A shirt is an important part of a men's business casual outfit. Shirts are usually long-sleeved. In contrast to the typical classic business dress code, a tie is not mandatory. You can do without a tie if a business casual outfit is permitted. Important points when choosing a men's shirt are

• Choose subtle patterns such as checks or light stripes
• Light blue shirts are always a good choice
• Short-sleeved shirts are atypical and not recommended

If a different sleeve length is specified, you can of course also choose a short-sleeved shirt. This depends on the customer's wishes and ideas.

Jacket as another item of clothing for casual business dress

Jackets should definitely not be missing from a casual dress code. However, the choice of colour is not taken so strictly. The colour of the blazer does not have to match the suit trousers. The fabric can also be different. However, you should avoid colourful and patterned blazers. The following factors are important:

• Don't choose a blazer that is too tight
• Top must be able to be worn both open and closed
• the casual style is better conveyed by wearing them openly

Sometimes even plain dark jeans are an option (not worn and washed out). You should preferably wear slim fit jeans, as they are a little more form-fitting and tight-fitting. This simply goes down better and looks more respectable and not too loose.

Shoes for the casual dress code

Business casual outfits are generally casual and relaxed. This also applies to shoes. It goes without saying that you should wear clean shoes. It makes sense to match your shoes to the colour of your belt or watch. Shoes are generally suitable:

• Leather shoes (black and dark brown)

• Moccasins

Especially on warm days, moccasins are ideal in combination with jeans or chinos. Leather shoes can also be combined well with a wide variety of trousers. You can't go wrong with these shoes.
