In a totally casual office, if you don\u2019t have face to face-meetings with clients, men may be allowed to wear a nice T-shirt with Chino shorts and sneakers. Women may be able to wear fitted t-shirts, tailored denim, and sandals with heel straps. But don\u2019t assume that this is the case, and ladies should avoid revealing necklines and hemlines!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2018<span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en\">Business casual\u2019 means lightweight collared shirts, chinos and relaxed but elegant shoes for men, and lightweight blouses and cardigans, with printed or textured skirts and slacks for women.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2018<span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en\">Executive casual\u2019 suggests brightly coloured shirts and ties for men, along with a lightweight sports jacket, slacks and loafers, while ladies could go for structured blazers, with knee-length monochrome skirts, or boldly coloured suits. Sandals are not advised for executive women; a closed-toe pump or sling-back shoe looks smarter.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en\">Formal business wear may be needed for some jobs, especially legal roles, and all you can do for summer is wear a lighter version of a business suit &#8211; lighter in terms of weight and also colour.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en\">Remember that linen and cotton are great fabrics to wear in hot weather because they are breathable and comfortable.
