Casual Friday – Professional casual dress for the office

Home | Executive Presence | Casual Friday – Professional casual dress for the office

Many companies relax their dress code for employees by allowing them to dress more casually on Fridays. This tradition is commonly known as “Casual Friday” or “Dress Down Friday” and aims to provide employees with comfort while they work.

Often, employees look to company leaders or management for guidance on appropriate casual attire. While dress code policies usually outline these guidelines, actions often speak louder than words.

Here are some suggestions for casual dress that maintains a professional appearance. For instance, trouser denim offers the comfort of denim while the trouser cut presents a more polished look. When paired with a cardigan or structured sweater, you can still adhere to the company’s casual dress policy and feel like part of the team.

Some argue that footwear should still be closed-toe, which holds true in many conservative offices. However, in more modern workplaces, open-toe shoes (with no metallic elements, thin straps, stiletto heels, etc.) are often acceptable for dress-down Fridays.
