The Best Casual Friday Style to Wear Now

Relax your outfit while still staying professional.

Casual Friday is a viscous concept. The definitions and rules change with the office: Leave your tie at home. Feel free to wear jeans. Wear a collared shirt. Sneakers are okay. Business casual required. Wear a t-shirt. With your appropriate mores considered, the thing to remember is that — even though it’s Friday — you’re still at your job and you’re still a “professional.” We put together a few outfits for a range of workplaces (corporate, creative and start-up) that will keep you looking polished, yet properly relaxed, at the end of the week.
