Men Business Casual Clothing

November 12th, 2008

Business casual dress code was first adopted around 1970’s in Western countries to allow employees work comfortably, yet having a professional look for their customers and business partners. You should always have a business casual look at the office, even though there might be certain days to be declared as dress down days like “casual Fridays”.

When we talk business casual we project an image of a gallant look. This includes synthetic or cotton material pants that have a neat cut, taking out of consideration jeans, shorts or exercise pants. As far as shirts, you can wear dress or casual shirts, polo’s or sweaters. Shoes accepted in business casual dress code are boots, leather shoes, dress shoes or even conservative walking shoes. It’s not appropriate to wear a hat when you are at work or any flashy jewelries. You should always wear a dress watch.

7 Tips to look after your leather shoes.

1. In order to get the best results and also be able to clean the tongue of the shoe, you should remove the laces. This will also prevent from staining the laces.

2. The first step is to clean the leather shoes with a soft, clean cotton cloth (it doesn’t matter if it’s an old t-shirt or anything else as log as it’s soft and made of cotton). If the shoes are very dirty, you can also use some water.

3. After cleaning them, select the polish that matches the color of the leather. You can use liquid, paste or cream. The liquid polish is the most friendly of them, but the experts do not recommend it because it can dry out the shoe leather and even cause cracks.

4. Always use quality cream or paste!

5. It is recommended to use a horn in order to keep the heel’s shape.

6. Keep the shoes away from direct heat.

7. When travelling use a shoe bag or at least wrap your shoes in a soft material.
