Dressing: Business Casual

We talked about business professional dressing, now we will talk about business casual. (There's a difference!) Dressing appropriately after you get the job is just as important as dressing for the job. Being well dressed at all times, can show your employer you care about your job. It's also probably mandatory. Casual dressing is key to giving off good impressions to your co-workers and to your customers but knowing how to dress casually can be still be tough. We've all been invited to an event that is "business casual", and if you're an incoming college student, you might not know what that means. It can also be hard if you don't have a little knack for fashion.

When in doubt, just do some research.

Don't be afraid to research what people wear to formals, work parties, and group outings. Remember,
just like professional dressing, when in doubt always over dress. It is better to be overdressed than be under dressed and risk giving off the wrong impression.
