6 Tips for What to Wear on Casual Fridays This Fall

Friday, the official ‘business casual’ day typically means no suits.

 

For many guys, suits are the more comfortable, easy option since business casual can be tricky and leaves a lot of room for misinterpretation. As a general rule of thumb, business casual should be something less formal than a suit but still professional looking.

Here are a few great tips for what to wear on business casual Fridays this fall.

 
 

1

Blazers or sports jackets always look great. Less formal than a suit but still strong and professional. Choose a classic brown houndstooth or a more noticeable windowpane for those Fridays when you want to stand out.

2

Pair your jacket with chinos or slacks. Jeans are great if your office is super casual, but stick with slacks if you work in a bank or a law office. Go for a neutral tan or chino that allows your sport coat to be the star.

3

Cooler autumn weather also means sweaters. Choose a pullover knit to wear under your sport coat or blazer. A navy pullover looks stunning with the brown houndstooth, is on trend and will keep you warm even on the coolest fall days. In fact, if you wear jeans, a sweater or sweater vest under your blazer will dress them up nicely.

4

Dress up any casual look with a white oxford men’s dress shirt. You can’t go wrong with this shirt and it will work with any color combination.

5

A camel colored scarf wrapped jauntily around the throat adds the perfect dash of sartorial swag. Choose a cashmere scarf in darker shades to compliment your blazer.

6

Get groomed! A fresh shave, slicked backed hair and clean fingernails add polish to any casual outfit. Look the part of the detail-oriented professional that you are with personal grooming.
