Should you be wearing casual shirts to the workplace? This is often a question brought about by employees and employers alike and the truth is it really depends on how formal the business attire in a particular office is. One office might require its workers to wear full-blown suits while another might consider polo shirts or dress shirts formal enough. However there is a standard that most workplaces are settling for and here is a quick but in-depth look at that standard. 

Polo Shirts Are As Casual As You Can Get

Polo shirts or tennis shirts are about as casual as you can get in the office. The reason for this is because polo shirts have been regarded as casual-formal wear for college students, golf players, and tennis players for decades. As a matter of fact, most high-end private colleges prefer their students to wear polo shirts whenever they are not in full business attire. This is because this type of shirt goes very well with formal slacks and dress shoes. 

This is even further implied with the ongoing trend that celebrities and politicians have been going through lately. Even the president has been seen going around in casual polo shirts whenever he is not doing political work, such as his charity work with his wife or public speeches in areas where it is too hot or impractical to wear a suit. 

Chequered Flannel and Plaid Are Getting Attention

However there is a new trend making their way into the office. Chequered plaid shirts and flannel shirts are also seeing some acceptance in some offices. They are considered to be very casual but because they too sport high buttons on the collar, sleeves, and are button-down so they at least have the same design as formal dress shirts. The patterns and fabrics are where they are different however these casual shirts do work well with jeans. 

Jeans are starting to become the go-to choice for casual-formal wear. Many offices are now allowing their employees to go in wearing denim pants and flannel/plaid chequered shirts are the perfect match. You could point it as a throwback to the industrial wear of old, back when jeans were used for industrial workers but with the line between blue-collared jobs and white-collared jobs starting to fade, this trend is seeing itself blend into formal offices. 

The Changing Trends

One other thing to consider is the change in trends. Offices are starting to accept that employee comfort is a major factor in better production and casual wear is one of the best ways to achieve that. Back then image was everything and thus every office forced their employees to stick to a very tight dress code that required formal dress shirts and suits. Nowadays better production, comfort, and a little leniency is the new talk of the town and thus casual wear are seeing their place in the workplace. So is it fit for an office to switch over to allow casual wear be a part of the office dress code? In many regards yes, as trends are still shifting and adapting. However, it is very likely that casual shirts will be accepted into most offices by the turn of the next two years.

With so many casual clothes taking on a much smarter appearance it is getting quite difficult to define what exactly smart shirts are and what these days aren’t. For example polo shirts worn with a blazer jacket might be classed as smart shirts in some circles and yet refused in others. I think that in this instance we can refer to smart shirts as being those required for special occasions or as business attire; a dress shirt. I think one mistake some guys make is by wearing these formal smart shirts with casual trousers. It is a look that doesn’t combine very well at all and is as much a fashion mistake as wearing a pair of training shoes with your work suit. Smart shirts are meant to be worn tucked into the waistband of your trousers and therefore when you buy them should have 3 or 4 inches of extra length in them in order to achieve this successfully. On a lot of occasions but not always, smart shirts are worn with a tie and it can be hard deciding what colour and shape of tie to wear but do persevere as a gentleman looks really great when he wears smart shirts, a tie and a well-fitting jacket. If you are confused about what to wear them simply choose a plain coloured shirt and contrast it with single coloured tie; colours like lavender and lilac suit most people.

It is that time of year again and that means clothes shopping. My husband is the worst person to shop for. He will only wear certain things and only certain brands. He makes it so difficult on me. One of his favorite brands in g star and I will be buying mostly that brand for him this year. They have everything you could possibly need and I do not feel like deal with a lot of stores and online stores for a few pieces of clothing. He just needs the typical stuff like t-shirts, button down shirts, jeans and underwear. G star offers all of these things and the bonus is that they all look nice. They have quality products at prices that I can afford and that is the most important. Maybe it will not be as bad this year as it normally is. Shopping at one place for him will be easy and quick.
