Business Casual Attire For Men & Dress Code Explained with Lookbook Outfits

About this video

The Gentleman’s Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to business casual dress codes, explaining their historical origins from Hawaiian shirts and khakis, then breaking down three distinct business casual environments—white collar, service industry, and startup—with specific wardrobe recommendations for each context.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that business casual evolved from Aloha Fridays and marketing of khakis by brands like Levi’s Dockers, eventually becoming mainstream office wear through TV and film influence
• The Gazette team recommends white collar business casual includes dark navy blazers with horn buttons, oxford dress shirts in white or light blue, chinos or grey dress pants, and derby shoes or loafers
• The Gazette team suggests that when in doubt, dressing more formally rather than casually is always the safer choice, and that appearances matter even in relaxed startup environments
