Is it just me or is “business casual” the most confusing term in the world? The phrase is a bit of an oxymoron, and its definition can vary so much in different office environments. And when you’re an intern trying to navigate the realm of what’s appropriate and what’s not appropriate to wear in the office that’s business casual, it can get a little fuzzy.
When you normally think of traditional office attire, its dark suits, conservative dresses, or a blouse with a collar. It all falls under the category of business professional. But, what about business casual? It’s usually considered more relaxed, allowing for prints, brighter colors, and flats to co-exist on a daily basis.
Figuring out what to wear for your internship really comes with time, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn't be prepared with some basic business casual essentials that will not only make you feel comfortable but confident.
