Smart casual versus business casual work outfits ❤️ Smart casual is polished in appearance yet still gives a more casual vibe. Think adding a business item like a blazer with dark wash jeans or a skirt/dress with sneakers. A lot of businesses may label the dress code business casual when it’s actually more smart casual which can make the dress codes confusing to distinguish amongst one another. Business casual is probably the most confusing of work attire because a lot of workplaces will label their protocol as business casual when it’s really more smart casual. Business casual is basically the more casual version of business professional. Generally you will see cardigans/blazers, dress shirts/blouses, trousers, dresses/skirts and closed toe shoes. Colors can be more neutral in tone but brighter colors are acceptable. You won’t typically see super casual items like t-shirts, jeans, sneakers, etc. LTKWorkwear LTKSeasonal
