What Is Too Casual?

What is too casual? Many people may have different definitions on what is considered too casual based on their workplace, but most places, they would consider it to be clothes that are not conservative and improper for work.

After you have asked your boss or human resource whether or not you are able to wear jeans and they have agreed that it's fine, you're lucky and safe to do so.

Try and keep it neat and tidy without any tears/rips or designs. Nothing flashy and keep it simple -- the darker the better.
