Corporate casual?

Question

How does your company define "corporate casual" business attire? Do they have a written policy? How is it enforced?
How do you define it?

Answer 1

As the others have said, business casual is no tie or jacket for the men. The women go more with casual slacks. We do have a written policy and there are some items which are forbidden (shorts, t-shirts, jeans, tank tops, etc.). If you violate the dress code, you may get a warning from your department supervisor. If it became chronic, would hear from a VP and possibly fired. I've never seen that happen, and I've seen really awful dress code violations.

Answer 2

usually means nice jeans, khakis, dockers, shirts.
women sometimes wear capris, sundresses , shorter more casual type skirts.

there is not a written policy. when the casual business attire came out there were suggested guidelines. we have not had a need for the fashion police to enforce it yet .lol.

i can think of two incidences that did require a manager to talk to an employee and make some suggestions as to how to modify their dress. it needs to be handled tactfully . employees are valued and if there is a dress code problem , then the manager can use this as an opportunity to educate / coach the employee.

Answer 3

Corporate casual usually means slacks and a single color sport shirt for men. For women, it would be again slacks or a skirt and a single color blouse. Business casual does not require a tie or a coat/jacket. It does not usually allow jeans or t-shirts.

Answer 4

I would equate this with business casual - khakis or dress pants and a button down shirt, or sweater twinset. Most places I have worked, each manager enforces the dress code in their department.
