Know the Look
Business professional clothing is a formal dress style commonly worn in traditional work settings such as accounting, banking, government and law. Neutral colors (black, gray, navy) are preferred and accessories are minimal.
Business casual clothing blends traditional business clothing with a more relaxed style that is appropriate for a professional office environment. This style is increasingly more common in the United States, especially in industries like tech and marketing. In an interview, dress one step more formal than what the company wears.
Smart casual clothing is a professional style that incorporates trendy items with classic pieces to create a comfortable, clean, and semi-formal look. This style is appropriate in flexible and informal office environments, including creative settings. In an interview, dress one step more formal than what the company wears.
