Memorandum On Business Casual Dress Policy
TO: All Personnel
FROM: Management

We currently have a dress practice allowing more casual clothes to be worn on Fridays during the non-busy seasons (casual Fridays).
We need to continue to present a professional image toward clients and the public.

Slacks/pantsWool and cotton slacks are acceptable, provided they are clean and wrinkle free. Inappropriate items include jeans, sweat pants, shorts, overalls, spandex and other form-fitting pants,
ShirtsCasual shirts with collars (for men), polo shirts, sweaters, and turtlenecks are acceptable. Avoid T-shirts, sweatshirts, tank tops, shirts with large lettering or logos. Avoid clothes that are distracting and revealing.
Dresses/skirts – Casual dresses and skirts with modest hemlines are acceptable. Dresses that are sleeveless but do not leave the shoulders bare are acceptable. Mini-skirts and spaghetti strap dresses are considered inappropriate.
FootwearItems such as loafers, boots, flats, and leather casual shoes are acceptable. Athletic shoes, sneakers, thongs, sandals, and slippers are considered unacceptable.

Let’s all work together to make the flexibility of business casual wear a positive experience. If you have any questions on the above information, please discuss with your supervisor.
