What is Business Casual Attire?

Q. I am going to go to Cheevers Restaurant with my boyfriend for my One Month Anniversary.
Its an upscale restaurant && the website says to dress in "Business Casual".
I was planing to wear a khaki blazer, a hot pink strapless mini dress && heels.
Would this be okay?
Yes? No? Suggestions?

THANKSSS!

A. Business casual guidelines for men and women
Business casual is crisp, neat, and should look appropriate even for a chance meeting with a CEO. It should not look like cocktail or party or picnic attire. Avoid tight or baggy clothing; business casual is classic rather than trendy.

Specifics for men's business casual
Ties:
Ties are generally not necessary for business casual, but if you are in doubt, you can wear a tie. It never hurts to slightly overdress; by dressing nicely, you pay a compliment to your host. You can always wear the tie and discreetly walk by the room where the function is held; if no one else is wearing a tie, you can discreetly remove yours.
Shirts:
Long-sleeved shirts are considered dressier than short-sleeved and are appropriate even in summer. Choosing white or light blue solid, or conservative stripes is your safest bet. Polo shirts (tucked in, of course) are acceptable in more casual situations.
Socks:
Wear dark socks, mid-calf length so no skin is visible when you sit down.
Shoes:
Leather shoes should be worn. No sandals, athletic shoes or hiking boots.
Jewelry:
Wear a conservative watch. If you choose to wear other jewelry, be conservative. Removing earrings is safest. For conservative industries, don't wear earrings. Observe other men in your industry to see what is acceptable.

Specifics for women's business casual
Don't confuse club attire with business attire. If you would wear it to a club, you probably shouldn't wear it in a business environment. Also, most attire worn on televison is not appropriate for business environments. Don't be deluded.
Pants / skirts:
Women can wear casual pants or skirts. Neither should be tight. Fabrics should be crisp; colors should generally be solid; navy, black, gray, brown and khaki are always safe bets. For the most business-like appearance, pants should be creased and tailored; neither extreme of tight or flowing.
Skirt length and slits:
Your skirt should come at least to your knees while you are standing. While you are seated, your thighs should be covered. If your skirt comes to just below the knee, a slit to just above the knee might be acceptable. A very long skirt should not be slit to above the knee. Generally slits in the center back of a skirt � to facilitate walking a stair climbing � are acceptable. Slits to facilitate a view of your legs are not appropriate for business purposes. Slips should not be visible.
Shirt / sweaters:
In addition to tailored shirts or blouses, tailored knit sweaters and sweater sets are appropriate business casual choices for women. Cotton, silk, and blends are appropriate. Velvets and shimmery fabrics suitable for parties are not appropriate. Fit should not be tight. Cleavage is not appropriate to business and job search occasions.
Jewelry / accessories:
Wear a conservative watch. Jewelry and scarf styles come and go. Keep your choices simple and leaning toward conservative. Avoid extremes of style and color. If your industry is creative, you may have more flexibility than someone pursuing a conservative industry.
Cosmetics:
Keep makeup conservative and natural looking. A little is usually better than none for a polished look. Nails should be clean and well groomed. Avoid extremes of nail length and polish color, especially in conservative industries.
Shoes:
Should be leather or fabric / microfiber. Appropriate colors are black, navy and brown (to coordinate with your other attire and accessories); white and pastels are not appropriate. For the most conservative look, toes should be covered. Sandals which are neither extremely dressy or extremely casual might be appropriate. Thin straps and high heels are not appropriate. Chunky heels and platforms are not apropriate. Make certain you can walk comfortably in your shoes; hobbling around a job fair in shoes that are pinching your feet does not convey a professional image.
Hose:
Not essential for business casual, but are recommended if your skirt is knee length (rather than calf length) and in more formal environments such as hotels.
Purse / bag:
If you carry a purse, keep it small and simple, or carry a small briefcase or business-like tote bag in place of a purse. A structured bag tends to look more professional that something soft or floppy. Purse/bag color should coordinate with your shoes. A briefcase is certainly not necessary for most business casual events. Leather, microfiber and fine wovens are appropriate. Canvas and straw are not appropriate.

that's business casual... but since this is a personal event, it refers more to the men: slacks, button-down shirt etc... you don't have to wear the khaki blazer... but i wouldn't recommend a mini dress either... do u have a nice summer dress? or something not so short like: http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=19969&N=1200257&categoryId=211&Ns=CAT

Which of these two shoes would look better for dressy casual style?

Q. I am having trouble deciding between these two pairs of dr martens. I have been trying to get a more mature, yet still young style and I am having trouble deciding between these two pairs. Which do you think I could pull of with a pair of Dockers and a casual button front shirt more easily? I am a grad. student in social work. Second, which has more all around ability? I am a grad student, so I can't afford to have both, even though I wish so. I want to look good, too. I want to look my age style wise, being a 24yr old man, so I am trying really hard, just needing others' opinions?

1st----- http://journeys.com/catalog_detail.aspx?ID=68734

2nd---- http://journeys.com/catalog_detail.aspx?ID=21836

A. I vote for the 2nd one. I think the 1st one might be too trendy. But really you should be good either way.

Original Question

Where can I find "androgynous" men's shoes?

Q. And/or shoes with a heel that have a more "masculine" look. I love the feeling I get by wearing shoes with a heel, but I don't like how most women's heels are designed. I don't like a really thin heel, how open they are, etc. I would like the look of something like a loafer or slip in with a heel, but I'm not sure where to look for shoes like this. Any advice? Thanks!

A. Look at some of these from Bass. This is a link to the whole "casual" category so you'll have to look past some trendier styles, but many of the shoes at this link might be exactly what you want.

Going to a club on a friday night, what does dressy casual mean?

Q. are there some photos i can look at? what are some clothing examples for men and women?

A. You don't need to dress in formalwear.

Dressy casual for women can mean: jeans and a nice trendy/dressy top, and heels. (Definitely, no flip-flops, hehe)

For men: jeans and a nice shirt, loafers or some kind of cool shoes (probably not sneakers)

How can I dress better without looking like a tool?

Q. I've never taken a deep plunge into fashion, so going all out with the latest would not be in my character. I'll wear skinny jeans, but scarves seem awkward if not for cold weather. I don't really understand how to use accessories, or colors, or matching. I'm also short, so any advice on short guys dressing trendy would be greatly appreciated.

A. shirts = plain white tees, graphic tees (no logos if possible), & the occasional abercrombie shirt (dont overdo it tho, or you'll look like a douchebag!)

jeans = anything! guys can pull off virtually any style, so dont limit yourself. heres some inspiration: http://www.ae.com/web/browse/category_full_fashion_guide.jsp?catId=cat130130 -skinny jeans are tricky to pull off, so try on a lot of styles before you buy

NO fashion scarfs! please leave those to women

shoes = you can go with skater vans: http://shop.vans.com/catalog/Vans/en_US/product/men/skate-shoes/widow-men.html

the universally loved converse: http://www.converse.com/?CSID=212#/s/products/collections/specialcollection7 (high or low tops)

or (depending on the occasion) a flip flop: http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=abercrombie

for hoodies and jackets, there are many looks you can go with.

skater = vans, element, fox (you can buy these brands at Pacsun)

beachy-casual = abercrombie, hollister, aeropostle

preppy = the gap

What Clothes are good for the basis of a men's wardrobe?

Q. I was just in the army for 3 years and upon getting back into things, I've realized that my wardrobe could possibly use some updating. I have
-2 pairs of jeans (AE bootcut, and Old Navy Mechanics).
-Camo Army pants
-Random Cargo Shorts
A bright yellow polo shirt and a red one
-Tshirts, mostly darkblue, and other darker colors
-plenty of button up the front plaid shirts, long and short sleeve (wore these with shorts or jeans with sleeves rolled up.
-All set in the formal clothes dept (have good suits shirts and ties)
-have some leather flipflops and some adidas sambas as shoes

That's about it! What should I get that wont cost obscene amounts of money but will fill out my wardrobe? I really want a good basis to work off of. Clothes for casual, and clothes if i wanna dress up a bit and want to go out.

Thanks for the help!

A. Maybe try some cool new staples for your wardrobe, that accent it, because it sounds pretty good so far! maybe a trendy jean jacket with a few patches sewn on (your favorite bands), then, maybe a nice pinstripe jacket a gray one always looks good. Sambas are awesome shoes, maybe try a pair of converse, sure, a lot of people own them, but you can't beat a pair of all black low tops! they look great under dark jeans with a cool button up top!

Can you show me what shoes to wear with some designer jeans and a button down shirt.?

Q. I decided to start dressing a little bit more trendier. I have these really nice vintage Polo Jeans and I want to wear them with a nice tight shirt from INC.

What shoes would match that combination? I mean like what specific style?

Can you show me a pic.

A. if there vintage, im assuming you want to keep it casual, so probably something like a pair of P.F. flyers would be good, or some white tennis shoes. http://www.tobi.com/men/home/shop-by-brand/331-pf-flyers

I just got a job, what type of clothes are acceptable?

Q. I just got a job with the census bureau and for training, they ask that you wear business casual attire. I'm 19 and never really had to dress any certain way at any other jobs so if someone could tell me what is considered business casual attire then that would be great!

Thanks for any help.

A. Business casual is crisp, neat, and should look appropriate even for a chance meeting with a CEO. It should not look like cocktail or party or picnic attire. Avoid tight or baggy clothing; business casual is classic rather than trendy.
Basics:
Khaki or dark pants, neatly pressed, and a pressed long-sleeved, buttoned solid shirt are safe for both men and women. Women can wear sweaters; cleavage is not business-appropriate (despite what you see in the media). Polo/golf shirts, unwrinkled, are an appropriate choice if you know the environment will be quite casual, outdoors or in a very hot location. This may not seem like terribly exciting attire, but you are not trying to stand out for your cutting edge look, but for your good judgment in a business environment.
Shoes / belt:
Wear a leather belt and leather shoes. Athletic shoes are inappropriate.
Cost / quality:
You are not expected to be able to afford the same clothing as a corporate CEO. However, do invest in quality that will look appropriate during your first two or three years on the job for a business casual environment or occasions.
Details:
Everything should be clean, well pressed, and not show wear. Even the nicest khakis after 100 washings may not be your best choice for a reception. Carefully inspect new clothes for tags, and all clothes for dangling threads, etc. (as with interview attire).
Use common sense.
If there are six inches of snow on the ground and/or you are rushing to get to an information session between classes and you left home 12 hours earlier, no one will expect you to show up looking ready for a photo shoot — they'll just be happy you made it. Just avoid wearing your worst gym clothes and jeans. If you show up at an event and realize you're not as well dressed as you should be, make a quick, pleasant apology and make a good impression with your interpersonal skills and intelligent questions.

Original Question

Can anyone point me to an official definition of Capri pants and cropped pants?

Q. My workplace outlaws Capri pants but not cropped.

A. Although I don't see much difference in them, I found this article that explains the "differences"....

By Becky Cairns
Standard-Examiner staff
bcairns@standard.net

Put on your fashion caps, folks, and answer this puzzler: What is the difference between capri pants and crop pants?

a. Capris are always black; crops are always khaki

b. Capris are loose and baggy; crops are skintight

c. Capris have cuffs; crops do not

d. Capris and crops are both shorter than regular pants.

You're not a fashion dunce if you didn't answer "D," although exactly how much shorter these pants are is up for discussion.

Capris generally hit just below the knee or at midcalf; crops fall about three-fourths of the way down the calf or near the ankle.

More specifically, capris are around 19 to 21 inches long and crops 24 to 25 inches long, says Leanne Furman, a spokeswoman for Mervyn's in Hayward, Calif.

"The terms crops and capris are almost used interchangeably," Furman said in a phone interview.

Cynthia Nellis, a fashion writer for the about.com Web site, agrees, explaining, "Crops, in my definition, are longer; capris, in my version, are shorter."

However, the term "crop" is also a catch-all phrase that describes all sorts of shorter pants, be they pedal pushers, floods, clamdiggers or high waters, Nellis said in a phone interview from Dallas.

As with fashion sizing, there is no standardization of these terms, Nellis says. One company's capris may well be another company's crops.

Capris were introduced in the 1950s by designer Emilio Pucci at a boutique on the island of Capri, off the coast of Italy.

By the '60s, the short, slim-fitting pants were catching the eye of fashionable folk like Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy and Mary Tyler Moore.

Both capris and crops -- a more recent innovation -- have become popular in the last three to six years, in part as an alternative to shorts, Furman says.

Pants of all types are popular nowadays, Furman says, and shorts, which "don't hide as much as some people might like," are in a downswing.

Nellis says capris and crops allow women to "show off a little bit of leg," and it's generally a flattering part of the leg -- the lower calf and ankle.

Although crops and capris used to be primarily casual wear, they can be dressed up for career fashions, too.

Crop pants teamed with a sweater-set top and low-heeled shoes could go to the office for casual dress day. Or a trendy look this fall will be tweed-like crops with coordinating jackets, Furman says.

Crops and capris can be worn by all ages and sizes of folks, Nellis says. The pants aren't strictly for women, either. Some designers make shorter-length pants for men. Nellis says that's fun because "men don't get a lot of variation in their styles."

The short pants are as versatile as jeans, Nellis says, because they can be worn with all types of tops, from T-shirts to camisoles.

What do I wear to a Stonefire Grill job interview?

Q. I am interviewing for a job at Stonefire Grill tomorrow after school and i was wondering what i should wear? i don't want to underdress because it's a job interview but at the same time i'm not interviewing for a very high up position..should i just wear my school uniform or should i wear a dress shirt and dress pants?

A. Casual, trendy, upscale or fast-food, whatever type of eatery you are applying to work at, make sure you dress professionally if you want to be considered for the job. During a job interview, the person interviewing you makes a judgment about your professional credibility and potential performance partially based on how you are dressed. Focus on conservative, business professional clothing for your interview. Even if you overdress, you will still make a positive impression.

Suit
Even if you are applying for a job as a dishwasher, you should look your best. While a dark-colored suit for men or women is entirely appropriate, either men or women can wear a pair of dress slacks and a button down shirt in a neutral color, which is still professional but a bit more relaxed. If a woman wears a skirt paired with a jacket, the skirt should fall just below the knee so that it will be at a conservative length when she sits down.

Shirt
Shirts worn under suits or paired with skirts or slacks should be conservative and neutral-colored. A shirt with a thin, coordinating pinstripe is acceptable. Avoid wearing trendy, sheer, brightly colored or wildly patterned garments. Keep things simple so your attire is not a distraction to the interviewer. You want him to focus on you, not on brightly-colored or busy attire, even if the restaurant is a trendy one.

Ties
Ties should be conservative, as a general rule. Pick one in a neutral color that coordinates with your suit and shirt. If the tie has a pattern, make sure it is understated. If you wear a button-down shirt and slacks, you can opt for a tie or not. If you are unsure how to dress, choose to wear a tie. You might be overdressed for the job you are applying for, but you will not make a negative impression as you would if you were dressed too casually.

Shoes
Shoes should be in good repair. Choose a neutral shade and ensure the shoes are free of dust, dirt and and scuffs. Men and women should always choose close-toed shoes, and women should not wear a heel that exceeds more than two inches. Flats are acceptable. Absolutely no flip-flops, sandals, tennis shoes or beach shoes should be worn to a restaurant interview, even in the most casual of environments.

Miscellaneous
Whether you are a man or woman, you should be well groomed. If you plan on working in a restaurant, good hygiene is a must. Make sure you are bathed and have applied deodorant and brushed your teeth. Your hair should be neatly styled and your fingernails should be clean and trimmed. Keep jewelry to a minimum and avoid perfumes or colognes in case your interviewer is sensitive to fragrances. Don't chew gum. Make sure your clothes are neatly pressed.

Powered by Yahoo! Answers

I just got a job, what type of clothes are acceptable?

Q. I just got a job with the census bureau and for training, they ask that you wear business casual attire. I'm 19 and never really had to dress any certain way at any other jobs so if someone could tell me what is considered business casual attire then that would be great!

Thanks for any help.

A. Business casual is crisp, neat, and should look appropriate even for a chance meeting with a CEO. It should not look like cocktail or party or picnic attire. Avoid tight or baggy clothing; business casual is classic rather than trendy.
Basics:
Khaki or dark pants, neatly pressed, and a pressed long-sleeved, buttoned solid shirt are safe for both men and women. Women can wear sweaters; cleavage is not business-appropriate (despite what you see in the media). Polo/golf shirts, unwrinkled, are an appropriate choice if you know the environment will be quite casual, outdoors or in a very hot location. This may not seem like terribly exciting attire, but you are not trying to stand out for your cutting edge look, but for your good judgment in a business environment.
Shoes / belt:
Wear a leather belt and leather shoes. Athletic shoes are inappropriate.
Cost / quality:
You are not expected to be able to afford the same clothing as a corporate CEO. However, do invest in quality that will look appropriate during your first two or three years on the job for a business casual environment or occasions.
Details:
Everything should be clean, well pressed, and not show wear. Even the nicest khakis after 100 washings may not be your best choice for a reception. Carefully inspect new clothes for tags, and all clothes for dangling threads, etc. (as with interview attire).
Use common sense.
If there are six inches of snow on the ground and/or you are rushing to get to an information session between classes and you left home 12 hours earlier, no one will expect you to show up looking ready for a photo shoot � they'll just be happy you made it. Just avoid wearing your worst gym clothes and jeans. If you show up at an event and realize you're not as well dressed as you should be, make a quick, pleasant apology and make a good impression with your interpersonal skills and intelligent questions.

Original Question

Can anyone point me to an official definition of Capri pants and cropped pants?

Q. My workplace outlaws Capri pants but not cropped.

A. Although I don't see much difference in them, I found this article that explains the "differences"....

By Becky Cairns
Standard-Examiner staff
bcairns@standard.net

Put on your fashion caps, folks, and answer this puzzler: What is the difference between capri pants and crop pants?

a. Capris are always black; crops are always khaki

b. Capris are loose and baggy; crops are skintight

c. Capris have cuffs; crops do not

d. Capris and crops are both shorter than regular pants.

You're not a fashion dunce if you didn't answer "D," although exactly how much shorter these pants are is up for discussion.

Capris generally hit just below the knee or at midcalf; crops fall about three-fourths of the way down the calf or near the ankle.

More specifically, capris are around 19 to 21 inches long and crops 24 to 25 inches long, says Leanne Furman, a spokeswoman for Mervyn's in Hayward, Calif.

"The terms crops and capris are almost used interchangeably," Furman said in a phone interview.

Cynthia Nellis, a fashion writer for the about.com Web site, agrees, explaining, "Crops, in my definition, are longer; capris, in my version, are shorter."

However, the term "crop" is also a catch-all phrase that describes all sorts of shorter pants, be they pedal pushers, floods, clamdiggers or high waters, Nellis said in a phone interview from Dallas.

As with fashion sizing, there is no standardization of these terms, Nellis says. One company's capris may well be another company's crops.

Capris were introduced in the 1950s by designer Emilio Pucci at a boutique on the island of Capri, off the coast of Italy.

By the '60s, the short, slim-fitting pants were catching the eye of fashionable folk like Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy and Mary Tyler Moore.

Both capris and crops -- a more recent innovation -- have become popular in the last three to six years, in part as an alternative to shorts, Furman says.

Pants of all types are popular nowadays, Furman says, and shorts, which "don't hide as much as some people might like," are in a downswing.

Nellis says capris and crops allow women to "show off a little bit of leg," and it's generally a flattering part of the leg -- the lower calf and ankle.

Although crops and capris used to be primarily casual wear, they can be dressed up for career fashions, too.

Crop pants teamed with a sweater-set top and low-heeled shoes could go to the office for casual dress day. Or a trendy look this fall will be tweed-like crops with coordinating jackets, Furman says.

Crops and capris can be worn by all ages and sizes of folks, Nellis says. The pants aren't strictly for women, either. Some designers make shorter-length pants for men. Nellis says that's fun because "men don't get a lot of variation in their styles."

The short pants are as versatile as jeans, Nellis says, because they can be worn with all types of tops, from T-shirts to camisoles.

Can you show me what shoes to wear with some designer jeans and a button down shirt.?

Q. I decided to start dressing a little bit more trendier. I have these really nice vintage Polo Jeans and I want to wear them with a nice tight shirt from INC.

What shoes would match that combination? I mean like what specific style?

Can you show me a pic.

A. if there vintage, im assuming you want to keep it casual, so probably something like a pair of P.F. flyers would be good, or some white tennis shoes. http://www.tobi.com/men/home/shop-by-brand/331-pf-flyers

Original Question

How much money should I spend school shopping?

Q. Im 15 in the 10th grade AndI'm going school shopping soon.
What do I need on my list?
How much money should I spend?
How much do you guys spend?

A. I made this list as a freshman and man did it help. It's kinda like a guide when buying Back-to-school clothes.

buying back to school clothes its definatley a more *ehem* expensive season of the year, but i usually spend about 750.00 or more dollars

I buy

8 jeans
4 dresses
2 skirts
2 leather jackets
15-20 tops
5 cardigans
4 blazers
7 shoes
5 bras
10 underwear
3 tanks
1 polo
gym clothes
a bunch of accessories

But, many kids don't have the luxury of spending 750-800 bucks, so heres my advice.

1) Staple pieces! All girls need staple fall pieces such as jeans, cardigans, blazers and scarves. You see, these are components to a cute outfit. Don't over buy adorable tops and no accessories because the outfit will lose it's cute effect. A simple white tank, and maybe a cute bright blue blazer and a white scarf with blue florals, and a pair of navy skinny jeans is a cute outfit, whereas a cute floral top, and a pair of jeans is an OK outfit. Also, invest in hats because every home run outfit adds a flare with a funky fedora or a chic beret.

2) Try stores like forever 32, charlotte ruse and H&M. Its cheap yet trendy (the golden combo!)

3) When in doubt, chicken out. Yeah, if you are doubtful of an outfit, DONT BUY IT! Trust me, coming from a chick as indecisive as me, i can't tell you how many times i said the outfit i boughtwas cute, but didnt wear it. Be the three C's: confident, comfy, casual.

5) Take advantage of summer deals! Just cause summer is over, it doesnt mean you can't wear the clothes. Abercrombie has adorable shorts that used to be like 50 bucks, and now they are like fifteen! Wear tights under the shorts to keep it warm in the fall :)

6)Don't fall for the new stuff! In my book, last season doesn't exsist. I buy stuff from the clearance aisle that was the cute, new and expensive stuff of the summer, and now it is half the price. Plus, its guranteed NO ONE will have stuff from last season (which is a GREAT thing :)

7) Thrift! There is nothing better than snagging a good deal. Find a local thrift shop and raid those closets. You'll find ador vintage wardrobe that is like 130.00 retail!

8) Mix old and new. Gained a few pounds? No problem! Take those tight jeans and turn them into a cute pair of distressed denim shorts, or a cute crop jacket! theres bound to be a tutorial online for that!

9) Accessorize! Plain white tee just chillin in your closet? Take advantage by pairing it with a cute scarf, a fedora and a colorful blazer. Or try a casual look buy pairing it with boyfriend jeans, and a fedora and a simple fishtail braid.


All in all, heres the basic list:

blazers
cardigans
GOOD, QUALITY jeans. I know forever 21 has 10.50 jeans, but they'll wear out over the course of a month. Jeans should last you until summer, so save the time and money and just buy GOOD jeans.

flats: ahh, flats. They are the best shoes on earth! They're easily the most comfy yet trendy shoe on earth.

accessories: atleast 3 necklaces, 3 rings, 2 bracelets, and 4 pairs of earrings. But, i usually opt for a bit over double that so it depends on the budget.

gym clothes

and of course bras and underwear

It should cost the average high schooler 150.00 or more.

All the best
