Dressing Business Casual Tip # 1

1. When in doubt, be conservative.

Above are the components to a classic business casual outfit. It's what every student learns in BA 101. When starting a new job or internship, it's always good to err on the more conservative side of business casual as you may not have a sense of the company culture yet. Every office is different. I've had two internships and the dress code differed for each one.

As you can see, I have a more traditional style by picking pearls, classic black pumps with a lower heel, simple cotton button up. It may seem a little boring but for your first few days in a new office, you have a smaller chance of breaking office dress code (if you office had one) and will definitely make a statement that you are a professional.
