Men's Business Casual Look

Men's Business Casual Look monkeysee.com See how the experts do it. David: Hi I’m David of Be Better Guys.com The Guys Guide to Getting a Life. We’re talking about what to wear for an event and this is not so much an event, this is more of what to wear when business casual. A lot of guys screw up business casual and here’s why. When you’re in an office, you want to look professional. If you want to be taken seriously, you got to look like a man and not like an overgrown boy. So ball cap, sandals, shorts, jeans that are ripped, shirts that are hanging out all over the place or athletic wear is not going to pass for business casual. Not on a real office it’s not. If you want to see what business casual looks like the right way, Brian is going to help demonstrate. He’s got— okay you got to stop sending email man. Brian: I’m sorry. David: I know you’re conducting business but now we got show some clothes. Brian: Okay. David: What Brian is doing here is he’s taken a V-neck sweater that he can wear casually on the weekends or to the office and put it over a nice dress shirt. He’s also putting it with a pair of khakis. Most guys own khakis if you have a nice pair, again no frays, no tares, no stains, you can wear a look like this at the office and be taken very seriously. What I’m choosing to do is break up a suit that I have where I’m not going to wear jacket. I’m not going to wear a tie but I an wearing the suit pants and a nice dress shirt to go with it. The whole point in this discussion is to say look guys. You don’t have to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. You own probably a lot of the items that can make acceptable business casual. So when you think about that, think about the types of things you’ve got that are nice and how they can pair together. You want to do nice shoes so sport shoes and obviously snickers probably not acceptable. Nice loafers, swayed shoes are nice, lace ups are good, nice boots are fine, but not motorcycle boots or the types the Timberlands you might wear in a 12 foot snowfall. Brian: I love my Tim’s. David: I love your Tim’s too but not at the office my man. A couple of things you can do with your pants as well besides breaking up suite pants or going with khakis is you can do premium denim jeans but again it depends on your office, it depends on whether you’re going to be taken seriously there wearing that or you can do nice in the winter time, corduroys or wool flannel pants. Bottom line fellows if you want to be taken seriously even if you’re doing business casual and you work in a casual environment bring you’re a game that way you’ll be treated like someone who’s ready to move up. Right polo shirts, Brian wanted me to mention one more thing you can wear on a summer time with your outfit at the work and that is polo shirts. Thanks for the reminder. Brian: No problem. David: Next we’re talking about what to wear at the club.
