Eleganz trifft Leichtigkeit: Der Business-Casual-Look ist der moderne Klassiker unter den Dresscodes – perfekt für alle, die Seriosität ausstrahlen möchten, ohne dabei zu steif zu wirken. Denn zwischen Anzug und Freizeitlook entsteht genau jener Stil, der Professionalität mit Persönlichkeit verbindet.Ob im Büro, beim Kundentermin oder auf Geschäftsreisen – Business Casual steht für souveränes Auftreten mit Komfort und Stil. Und kaum ein Accessoire unterstreicht diesen Anspruch besser als eine hochwertige Ledertasche oder ein edles Accessoire von BRAUN BÜFFEL.

WHAT IS BUSINESS CASUAL?

Business casual is the successful blend of formal business wear and smart casual attire.

The goal: A professional yet relaxed look. While the classic business formal style relies on suits, ties, and business suits, the business casual dress code allows for more individuality and comfort.

Typical items include:

  • For men: Chinos or dress pants, shirt (subtle colors and patterns), blazer or sport coat, leather shoes or stylish sneakers
  • For women: Dress pants or a longer skirt (e.g., satin), blouse, blazer or cardigan, loafers, slip-ons, or elegant sneakers

Yes – but in moderation. Discreet, clean sneakers in neutral colors are permitted if they appear high-quality and match the outfit. Sporty models or striking colors are forbidden.

Absolutely – the blazer is a central element of the business casual look. It provides structure and seriousness without appearing too formal.

For women: Blazers or structured jackets can also be combined well and appear elegant and modern at the same time.

DIFFERENCES TO OTHER DRESS CODES

GESCHÄFTSFORMULAR

A classic suit or pantsuit, tie or blouse, usually in subdued colors, is a must here – perfectly suited for board presentations or official appointments.

SMART CASUAL

The smart casual style is significantly more relaxed for both men and women, often featuring jeans, a polo shirt, or knitwear – ideal for after-work events or creative industries.

CASUAL FRIDAY

Casual Friday is mainly found in companies that generally have a business formal dress code. Towards the end of the week, a more relaxed version of the business casual style with jeans or more casual combinations is allowed. Nevertheless, the look should be appropriate for the professional environment.
