  • Dark suit for conservative employers, khakis and dark jacket work well for others. Conservative shirt and tie. Dark socks to match slacks. Dark shoes, polished.
  • Dark suit (slacks or skirt) with conservative blouse or a dress. Dark shoes, natural color stockings with dress or skirt, dark socks to match slacks. Low to medium heel shoes, polished. Conservative jewelry.


Business casual
is one notch down from business professional attire, often used in more casual business settings and career events.

  • Slacks with collared shirt (button down or golf/polo style), with or without tie.
  • Dark slacks, dress, or skirt with tailored shirt, blouse, or sweater.
