Now that most offices have adopted casual Fridays we still need to be aware that we’re portraying a corporate image. This month Janis Galloway and Jared Tabler, two of Edmonton’s most influential bloggers & fashionistas discuss how to avoid Friday Fashion Faux pas. What are the do’s and don’ts for Casual Friday? JT: Casual Friday to me is less formal than the whole week, but should still be pulled together for business. I think the misconception when you use the word casual is that all rules are off, all bets are off and that people can wear whatever they want. That is woefully incorrect. Things to avoid would be flip flops, torn up jeans, jean shorts, and short shorts. Anything where we can see too much leg there is a problem, for guys and for girls! JG: The biggest thing is fit. People will either wear something that is way too tight because they think they can get away with it, or wear way to lose and baggy clothes. Keep the same fit as the rest of the week. How would you portray a corporate but relaxed look? JG: A skinny jean or a really good pair of jeans with a nice blazer and blouse underneath. A blazer can solve everything. JT: When I think about dressing casual in the corporate world, that’s wearing a suit without a tie, opposed to abandoning the suit all together. I think we should return to the more formal throw back of looking good but being relaxed. JG: I think it is good when you are pushing the boundaries just a little bit, but there is this really fine line.
