What’s the difference between business casual and business appropriate without suits?
My sister just got a job where they said business casual for the interview but then said “dress appropriately for business but you don’t have to wear a suit. She’s confused as to what she should be wearing. Any tips?

Don’t be. What they meant by “appropriate” is decent. Tam
Sigh, that’s because they should just say “We wear suits/ties” or “Suits/ties are not needed”. I wish businesses would stop dropping their standards by calling it “casual”. Your sister should dress business formal for her first week. This is standard until you figure out what the hell business casual means to THAT particular company. All new employees should dress just a bit nicer than everyone else until they settle in a little. Aporia
Khakis, skirts, are fine. Some places require women to wear pantyhose even if it is business casual. No jeans.
I wouldn’t dress business professional, even in the first week. She wants to fit in, and if nobody else is wearing a suit, then neither should she. Macpark
