BUSINESS CASUAL EXPLAINED: gentl.mn/2PtQ0Oo
Business casual today is one of the most widely spread dress codes yet it's often vaguely defined. There's no point in following all the advice we provide in our video if your company is extremely casual or extremely formal. You simply have to figure that out and the best way to do that is to observe what others are wearing or to ask your supervisor.
Well-made shoes from quality leather that is expertly polished can really upgrade a cheap suit, at the same time, a cheap pair of shoes can bring down a $5,000 bespoke suit.
Business Casual Shoes For White-Collar Environments
Because you're in this traditional environment, chances are even business casual is more formal than in other places. Now that doesn't mean that you should wear your black cap toe oxford because that would still be too formal and while it's good with suits for business casual, you can be a bit more daring. For one that means wearing a derby shoe. Derbys have an open lacing system and because of that, they're always slightly less formal than an oxford. Also, I would stay clear of black derbys, instead I would opt for brown ones because brown is one of those shades that has just a hundred or thousand different colors with little variations and so you can never have enough brown shoes. When I say brown I also mean red shoes, either reddish brown, burgundy, or oxblood. These are all fantastic colors for business casual even in a formal environment.
Service, Sales, & Trade Industries
Chances are you still have client contact and even though it's not required of you to be well dressed, and sometimes it may come off as aloof or not appropriate, people will still judge you and if you look frumpy in sweatpants with a hole that are all dirty, people will think less highly of you, they will assume that you're less competent than if you would wear let's say a nice dress shirt with a pair of chinos. If you are just at the office and never have client contact, your employer will likely have specific ideas of what's acceptable and what's not. If that's not your office, I suggest to just stay clear of sneakers because sneakers are quite casual. The same is true for tennis shoes, Nikes, Adidas, it's simply not work appropriate shoes.
Start-up Environment
Frankly, the sky's the limit and it can be anything from flip-flop over vans to very extraordinary Gucci loafers. Most startups won't even have a dress code and so it's all about what you're comfortable with and about their culture and how you fit in. Now, just because you can wear anything doesn't mean everything has the same level of benefits for you.
General Guidelines to keep in mind:
The general advice to your wardrobe and if you want the biggest bang for your buck and the lowest cost per wear, I strongly suggest to not invest in shoes that fuse modern style and traditional style. Why you might wonder? Well, matching together formal and informal elements will mean it's a very trendy shoe and it may be great at the moment but it's just a fashion and a fad and it will disappear in just a few years of time.
Now that you know a lot about business casual shoes, there are times when you should avoid wearing them and step up your shoe game and just be a little more formal. For example, think of important meetings with a board maybe with their most important client or the CEO who is known to be a clothes horse. In those situations, you definitely want to take it up a notch and put your best foot forward.
In summary, the dress-code business casual is not easy to master when it comes to shoes because it can mean different things at different times at different companies, however, using the three-tier approach of formal environment, less formal environment, and casual environment, it can really help you to nail it and put your best foot forward.

I have to admit that since i discovered this channel i watch it allot. I don't even have enough money to dress like that but at least i try.
I watch the videos for entertainment value. I hate formal dress and even left a job once because of the dress. I also bucked the trend and dressed as informally as possible for the formal dinner nights on a cruise. They told us as long as we wore no shorts, flip-flops, or t-shirts, we were okay! Who really wants to pack a whole suit, shoes, dress shirts, ties, etc that you're going to wear for a couple hours when you're on a vacation?!
@@gmc9753 i really believe the intention of the channel is to teach people real life manners and to dress well all the time. How individuals see things or how they choose to dress is up to their free will or in your case i strongly believe is about the wallet.
You'd be surprised how inexpensive it can be to dress well. Check local thrift stores regularly, and you'll find nice clothes for super low prices. Today, I'm wearing a light brown textured silk blazer I got for $9!
@@catatonicbug7522 as a matter of fact i will. It's a good idea you given to me. Thank you.
@@yotheman For me, it's 90% about what I'm comfortable with. I just don't like formal attire. If you told me I'll give you $1000 to spend on suits and ties and dress shoes, or $200 to spend on casual clothing, I'll take the $200 every time!
These videos are just STELLAR. They're detailed, informative, and entertaining. You can rely on this information for ANY type of event or situation, and with that, you can know that your presentation to the world will be one that is of the highest order. Thanks again, Raphael.
i am a 77 year old woman so none of this applies to me. however, you are so darn cute and your videos are so darn cute i love to watch them
I work in tech as a programmer, I’ve started wearing brown derbys and feel more comfortable this way even if I get more looks now. When autumn comes I’ll try adding some tweed to my wardrobe and I will probably be seen as pretentious by some and dapper by others.
One of the comments I’ve gotten for my shoes is ”what are you doing on this floor? Sales is down there!”
The culture in tech is very much acting like you’re above dressing up or that you don’t care, which is something I don’t particularly agree with.
I like that jacket. I’m trying to incorporate more green in my dress
My office doesn't have customer interaction, so a lot of people just wear jeans, s t-shirt, and sneakers. I'm about the only guy who wears driving mocs, loafers, Chukka boots etc. at the office. As for clothing I typically wear a dark wash jean paired in the winter with a nice sweater or dress shirt and sportcoat and in the summer a nice short sleeve dress shirt or a polo shirt. I've had co-workers say I'm the only one in the office with style lol. I definitely agree with not dressing down just cause everyone else is. Know your environment and dress accordingly even if nobody else is.
Whole cut there made me happy
I’m not the only one
Sometime I just rewatch some of the videos on this channel because I love seeing such wonderful outfits.
1:17 will stay etched in my mind for days to come.
As will the hair cut
Where I live, the cowboy boot is a universal shoe. They can be casual, business casual, or formal. Just depends on how well polished they are and how ornate the lower is (never tuck pants into the tops of cowboy boots no matter how ornate the upper is, that's very low class and looks terrible)
Edit: for a very formal pair you might look for a pair made of exotic leather and/or a pair with silver/gold boot tips and heel guards
jordan hicks that is so great I love how in some aread the dresscode is just different due to the tradition!
@@lobixderzweite7346 it's a pretty specific geographic area where you can get away with boots (pretty much just Arizona, New Mexico and Texas as well as down south of the border in Mexico), but it's a very traditional look here, and makes you stand out in a crowd when traveling abroad. Shows your cowboy pride in a more subtle way than rocking a Stetson
Since I discover your channel I have change my whole wardrobe I'm 45 year old. now I dress age appropriate like you mention once thank you I feel great.
Love your aesthetic!
wow! I love those navy and grey suede spectators.
Hello I want to thank you for all you do on this Chanell. I've learned quite a bit from you keep up the outstanding work here 👏🏽👏🏽
I work in a big factory's management department, where I never meet any customers. Patterned shirts, jeans and sneakers with a modest design (I have a mid-brown suede pair) are perfectly acceptable here.
Like the jacket.
Who needs to pay those expensive manner classes when you can just learn free from this true gentleman!Great work man!
Been always waiting on your opinion on shearling jackets..
Can you do a series where you review and talk about suits and outfits from movies?
Great advice here Raphael 🤘🏼
Few men can pull of a green jacket and be stylish.
This man is one of them
Very nice examples
Thank you so much
From India
Love the green jacket, look great as usual, keep up the great work. :)
LOVE THIS CHANNEL! ❤️I wear Vintage Suits Everyday with pride
Your tips are always amazing, Rapha. I'm trying to adapt them to my workplace in Sao Paulo, but it's not easy to dress more elegantly in Brazil. Everything here is so casual... I work in a newspaper where people hardly wear leather shoes. It's 90% sneakers and tennis shoes...
I'm 24 years old..now i'm really trying to level up my style after watching this chanel.
Awesome ...thank you very much for saying in detail
I only discovered this channel today and have binge watched it this afternoon, thanks for the great content! I actually have a video request, its for filler words, as i um like seem to um have an er issue with like using them subconsciously and i'm trying to up my game a little, any tips on how to recognise and stop using them so much? cheers Nate
Tan Double monk strap shoes with the matching leather belt and kahki dockers with a navy blue and white dress shirt ss wrist watch and light mist of cologne... Made my lady melt like Candy...anyways thanks for the vids big thumbs upp
Do rubber soles last longer than leather soles?
I'd really like to know what brand/model is the shoe shown at 3:17? Looks really nice.
A loafer or derby with a white sole is an alternative to sneakers.
17 formal business wearers clutched their pearls
Yes! My kinda style.
Uber cool video ! :)
Thank you very much for the video; what do you think of rubber outsole that covers the leather sole to protect it from the elements?
Looking good Sven!
Can you bring back is it worth it?
where did you get the dark brown whole cut shoes ?
I was wondering, where did you get the green coat? Thanks!
As much as I like them, I find it hard to wear leather-soled shoes. Even when it's not raining where I am in New York, sidewalks are always wet for one reason or another. Maybe Dainite soles are a good compromise?
Up till now I've not really had contact with many businesses where the business code is really that formal, especially when there is close contact with a client company I've found that good colour matched Chino's and jackets etc. not really black/navy suits. Don't really know how true this is in other places thought, would love to hear.
How do you feel about the turtleneck sweater beneath a dress shirt finished with a blazer?
You have to have some rubber soled shoes if you walk any distance is wet, snowy weather.
I tend to wear rubber soled shoes, because the remaining leather pair I own (which has not really been worn) is very slippery, and thanks to an accident a few years ago, I have some trouble walking and balancing. I also live in the UK, so its often rather wet.
Is there some way I can make the grip on the shoes better (other than sticking rubber on the bottom), or should I just continue with my rubber soles in your opinion?
Your style and the coordinating of accessories is so awesome. It is unfortunate that I never see men dressed like you. Most men have no idea of how to dress.
I go with Ecco boots in wet weather.
As a real estate agent, what would be the best choice to go with. I hate super casual fits, so what should I do?
Fellow agent here.
The best advice I’ve received, is to go one step more formal than your clients. So it will depend on where you are and what your clients are wearing.
Please tell me who makes the olive green derby's pictured in your video.
What situations are black darby brogues appropriate for? I see them available at reasonable price and at the same time in videos such as these mostly regarded as not appropriate. I am not an undertaker nor a bankster. I am just looking for something smarter to wear when I from time to time decide to go to the office. I don´t have to wear a suit. Would black darby country brogues such as Crockett and Jones Pembroke be too formal for a polo shirt? I hope I am not offending too many people with this question.
At 9:29, what's the brand of that mid brown penny loafer? They look amazing
One problem you may encounter in the corporate world: if work sales, your style of dress may be very different from the people who don't have to leave the office.
You have a nice style... 👍👏
Sven, what do you think about the M40 greatcoat?
Make a video on leather jackets
you need to do a 'how to wear purple' video
Business casual in law firms is pretty casual
Overall good video but for you as much as being a classic style of a gentleman as you are, why are spectators, good shoes and suede I think they are too fashion forward. however, something you rarely see I do like the olive green shoe, which I never thought of before.
This should be mandatory watching for tech industry billionaires who think shorts, flip flops and a T shirt from a Chumbawamba concert is business casual.
Green rules.
What about Louis Vuitton?
Where I live, any leather-soled shoes, no matter how brogued or embellished they are, are considered "church shoes". No one seems to know (or care about) the difference in formality. It's rather sad...
Raphael is back, thank god.
at my company everyboy dresses like slobs....so not difficult to be" overdressed" and outshine em all.
👍
The dress shoes with the white rubber soles are the ugliest thing I have ever seen.
what a about boots
2nd like
That 🌴 background 🤦♂️
Please on april fools dress in sportswear and pretend like it's normal.
Personally I can't stand the color brown and tan. They look awful on me and I never wear them as a result. I disagree that black can't work in business casual, I'd suggest just going with a shoe with more broguing to offset the formality of the color.
You look like a old g-eazy
What's wrong with your pants, why those big cuffs?
Sven, I almost always wear cuffed pants. I see you wear your cuffs much bigger than I have witnessed anywhere. They must be over 2 inches. Please comment.
You move your mouth very weirdly when talking but I can't exactly pinpoint why I find it weird... exaggerated, unnatural movements of the mouth perhaps?
He is part brazilian and part german, so I think he is trying to supress the accent.
You're trousers are too loose...🙂
oh..you don't like rubber soles....apparently you do not live in the northeast United States where you life depends on non skid rubber soles.
Well he's in Minnesota, for what that's worth.
ohhhhhhh. well he must have some skid resistant shoes in his vast wardrobe.
