Business Casual Attire There are so many different clothing styles, people sizes, and mix-and-match options that it is sometimes difficult to know what is appropriate for our business-casual work environment. It is even difficult to write about what is appropriate, because people have different opinions about what “appropriate” is. The following, however, provides basic guidelines. Please check with your supervisor or HR manager if you have questions or are unsure about what, or what not, to wear. APPROPRIATE BUSINESS CASUAL ATTIRE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: P P Shirts with a collar or crew neck, sweaters, vests, dress shirts, blouses, t-shirts other than those described in the “inappropriate attire” list below P P Pants; slacks; ankle, mid-calf and knee-length dress capris or crop pants; corduroy slacks, khakis (e.g., Dockers), dresses, skirts, split skirts, and jumpers P P Dress shoes, boat shoes (e.g., Docksiders), dress boots, dress sandals, clogs and slides INAPPROPRIATE ATTIRE INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: P P Undershirts, tank tops, sweat shirts, halter tops, crop tops, racer-back tops, low-cut tops, strapless tops, and tops with spaghetti straps.

Casual Attire Certain days may be designated as “Casual Days,” when associates may wear denim attire and cargo pants that are free from rips, holes, stains, etc., as well as sneakers, tennis shoes, running shoes or other athletic shoes. On “Casual Fridays,” associates may wear sports jerseys. Keep in mind, however, that all other aspects of the “business casual” dress policy should still be followed on these special days (e.g., no tank tops, midriff tops, shorts, t-shirts with cartoons or graphics, torn or cut off clothing, etc., as listed in “Inappropriate Attire” in this policy). Please note that when a holiday falls on a Friday the previous Thursday is not a “Casual Day.”
