Fashion Friday: Do's and Don'ts for Casual Friday

Casual Friday Uncovered. Learn some basic Do's and Don'ts to perfect this "casually professional" look.

Are you perplexed by Casual Friday? Simply, it's an excuse to loose the suit, but not a free pass to come to work in concert attire. Your goal is to maintain a professional image. Here are a few basic rules to help you define your Casual Friday look. 

Do's:

  • Do wear dark denim, if wearing jeans.  Skip the skinnies and go for a trouser cut.
  • Do pull out the LWBDS (little white, button-down shirt) and add a colorful scarf or a statement necklace.
  • Do wear a heel or a stylish flat.
  • Do save your bold prints or colors for Casual Friday. 
  • Do wear a statement blazer.

  • Don't wear tennis shoes (go for a cute flat, instead).
  • Don't mistake Casual Friday for Sexy Friday.  Leave the club attire at home. 
  • Don't forget to iron your clothes.
  • Don't forget to accessorize your more casual outfits.
  • Don't wear shorts or too-short skirts.
  • Don't wear something that you really couldn't also wear Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.   
  • I hope this helps you get dressed and out the door in a more defined, polished Friday-kinda way.
