Business dress
Business Standard - which is the default dress for
business. It basically consists of a suit, shirt, tie, jacket for
him, and a knee length skirt or suit with a blouse for her.
Business Casual - which needs a little more thought. This
can range from Business Standard without a tie, to Smart
Casual.
Smart Casual – which means that you dress
professionally but you feel relaxed.
