Traditional business attire, for men, purely consists of wearing a dress suit. This includes wearing a matching coat and slacks, a long sleeved dress shirt, a necktie, and dress shoes. Traditional business attire for women is comprised of a blouse layered by a suit jacket with a coordinating skirt or slacks, and a pair of pumps. Bright colors are generally discouraged for both men and women in the workplace.During the close of the 20th Century, the corporate world introduced a new fashion trend called “Business Casual”. Many corporations decided to adopt the “Business Casual” dress code in an effort to create a more relaxed environment.

However, some companies have accepted an even more lenient dress code on Fridays sometimes known as “Casual F
