Business Casual?

At my old stint it was business professional...I have nothing but suits. What is considered business casual on wallstreet? The prep private school look with Khakis? Im working at a BB.

We are biz casual...dress

We are biz casual...dress pants and a button down (standard dress shoes or loafers) No one wears kahkis at my shop.

Suits are mandatory during fund raising but we dont always get dressed up beyond biz casual when visiting our bankers.

business casual banks are dress/ shoes,pants, shirt (no tie) from my experience

business casual sucks

you end up spending more money on work clothes b/c of business casual.
business casual = business professional - jacket - tie

Dress pants, a button-down

Dress pants, a button-down shirt, and dress shoes. Keep your suit jacket and couple of ties at your office in case you have meetings with clients.

BC at my bank means

BC at my bank means everybody wears their jacket to work but leaves it on the chair the whole day. No ties.

Same as Brisbane. We keep

Same as Brisbane. We keep ties in our desks just in case a random management presentation / diligence / org meeting pops up.

Just take one of your suits,

Just take one of your suits, subtract the jacket and tie and BAM, you have business casual. Wearing the khakis is more of a Friday business casual setup, not everyday attire. Keep the jacket at the office in case you have an impromptu meeting.

Good day.
