My grandpa left behind a bunch of killer retro ties and I wear them all the time in business casual situations. They really seem well received. I try to dress at the top end of what is expected, and see business casual as a free pass to break some of the business (not causal) rules. Like thick wool ties, crazy socks, sneakers, etc.
Swear. I always change my outfit when I watch one of these. Dark wash jeans, white sneaks and a light thermal long sleeve shirt became dark jeans, silk polo & wing tipped Chelsea boots (brown, with a matching belt of course). Now I feel ready!

So detailed ; I won't say I got everything I wanted from this single video, but the amount of detail you have provided makes me wonder how much work you put in to make it . Goood Stuff !
I don't think this video addressed the stuffiest level of business casual (for example, business casual at a law office), where a dress shirt, dress slacks, and Oxford shoes would be acceptable and common (though not mandatory) for business casual. For just about everyone else, I think this video give excellent advice.
Fashion is arbitrary, often enough the rules she goes over in these videos are best seen as basics for men. After all if the rules she said were hard rules then people in other culutres would look ridiculous in the preferred outfits and trendsetters would be a myth whispered about by tailors.
Ashley, I work in tech….business casual is vague, you’re spot on…in the companies I’ve worked at, upper management usually dresses to the expected BC but the worker bees don’t. It’s super casual (tees, shorts, flip flops, sneakers, etc).
I love a polo fitted as long as it doesn't have that dreaded floppy polo collar. I am a college kid, but I do dress semiformally so it was fun to see all this laid out. Some wear their pajamas to college, but most fall somewhere in this lineup, so it still applied. You've really helped grow and nurture my fondness for clothes and presenting myself well, I don't know if I would have bought my first pair of penny loafers if it wasn't for you. I am also a dedicated watch wearer thanks to you. Till next time, all the best to you and Dorian.
At 12:40 you mentioned Metal Cuffs for accessories. It would be great to maybe have a video that covers good metal cuff accessories. Even just finding good metal cuff or bracelet accessories isn’t the easiest thing for a fashionable guy as their are just fewer outlets for men to buy their things as compared to so many outlets for women in every sub category of clothing and accessories.
When choosing a leather watch, make sure that the strap color matches your belt and shoes. Here's another pointer: make sure that any metal you're wearing is the same color > for example, if you are wearing a silver watch, do NOT put a gold tie bar on the tie you're wearing- It clashes!
Hi! Just came across your channel! I love it! Could you please tell me where you purchased your outfit? I absolutely love it! I am big into tailoring to your body type. The other thing I was going to ask you is can you or do you have any suggestions for where I could find some nice ladies hats. I do live in Ontario Canada but I’m sure there would be a lot online. In one of the short videos, one of the girls is wearing a black dress and a black heart and it has I think a gold little L but I’m not sure. If you could help me out that would be fantastic. I’m sure your videos will help me as well. I love love clothes and nice ones. Thank you so much, best wishes from Susan in Canada
My personal style is so far from business casual and for comfort reasons I only own cargo pants and tshirts. Seems like I'll have to invest a bit in my wardrobe for work!
2nd, lol. But more than that…Ashley and crew, you’ve got to get some gentlemen giving some before and after style pictures from watching. Hate to admit it, 😅, but I’ve been upgraded but by bit from watching for the past couple years.
Overall good advice and I agree that business casual is very ambiguous and depends on your workplace. though, unless the dress code is very casual I would recommend that you wear dress socks with your loafers, it's just an overall cleaner and more put together look. :)
On a hybrid schedule now. I might be the only guy in the office not wearing running sneakers and untucked dress shirt. The worst part is it’s a business casual joint.
What do you think of Oxford shirt, rolled up sleeve, clean white low pro leather sneaker, chinos but add a tie? I’m the only one that wears a tie, but I kinda like it… like it sets me apart.
I want to dress nice but I'm in IT and I'm always moving dirty computers and going under peoples dirty desks on my knees where they keep dirty shoes. Most of the time the areas are super dusty, dirty and there are food crumbs. The carpet is discolored with dirt and salt from sidewalks.. Not sure what to wear...
Is there any way men are allowed to wear shorts of any kind or what is wrong with them in general; since in warm sunny place wearing pants outside makes it quite unbearable.
if you choose a light, breathable fabric and your trousers are not very tight, they work great, if not better than shorts since they also protect your skin from direct sunlight. So try to avoid any kind of synthetics and rather opt for more natural fibres. It will work wonders. But if you really like shorts just wear them. I reckon you know where they could be inappropriate like at the church for example? Just wear them as long as it's not inappropriate or completely out of place. Good style is one thing but being comfortable is way more important. And if you feel like wearing shorts, don't let yourself stop because some people dislike them.
Boat shoes get a lot of hate, but they are a good place to start. You can then graduate to suede derbies or brown wingtips and similar shoes. Those snoes look better but are harder to know when to wear for the novice.
The only 2 I disagree wirh is socks and slides at lest they look better then flip flops and think there comfortable and second white socks are super nice looking and stylish I dont care
I love how 99% of mens "fashion" channels are just the most boring looking clothes you can think of. Almost all of the examples are of really good looking men. Like models. These types of clothes only shine because the guys are really good looking. So, yeah. Dress like this and you will look like every other loser out there. This is the perfect way to attract people within your range or under. You are limited by how you look if you do this. Honestly. Do you think anyone will be impressed by your chelsea boots when every other guy wears them AND they are more attractive than you? This is how women want you to dress when they already are dating you. There are a lot of tips that are valid, but you need to break many of them as well if you want to stand out. Sometimes i think people hate everything that goes against the norm because they cant read you. If you look like everyone else, there is less to analyze and comprehend about you. And dont dress your age. Its perfect if you hate dating younger women. There is a middle ground and a lot of stuff you can pull off. Leather jackets are a good example. No offense to this channel, but just about every style she likes is a guy thats as soft and boring as a piece of stale bread that always happens to be a model. She doesnt like badboys, so she doesnt like that style. And this is pretty common. Sorry for the rant. I enjoy many of these videos, but the styling in this one is just as exciting as the 90s models on a countryside romanian no-brand clothing store.
Wow, you delete comments about your wardrobe choices while you’re telling us what to wear ironic right? What was that thing you had wrapped around your body it’s all black and white part of a bed sheet or a scarf or something
Are we saying that indigenous formal wear such as African or Indian regalia is not business appropriate or professional bc it's too colorful and comes with accessories? What has been described in this video seems incredibly rooted in traditional views of what is professional. The stylist claims they've dressed men of all walks of life, sizes and shapes. Yet what we've seen presented here is the stereotypical one dimensional view of business casual style that we've been taught is the universal standard. Maybe this 'stylist' needs to widen their range and understand that style, whether business or otherwise, is not a monolith.

Awesome as always. Ashley, your channel is the gold standard in men’s style.
No, it is appalling and dull.
Very helpful video! ‘Business casual’ is such a nebulous category. Thanks for the insight!
I'm just glad you just give men fashion advice... Excellent advice as always 👍🏿
So detailed ; I won't say I got everything I wanted from this single video, but the amount of detail you have provided makes me wonder how much work you put in to make it .
Goood Stuff !

Its still a low standard here for business casual. This is more just casual (but stylish).
I'm in manufacturing and this is mostly well below what I'm comfortable wearing. At Min a button down and leather shoes

Thank so so much for this, business casual is difficult to get right.
Finally!!! Thank you for making this! I wish it was out 3 weeks ago when I started my new job.
Never too late to up your game my friends ;)
Miss Ashley Weston is the best I wear my suits to the office and restaurants.

I love and have many pairs of Bruno Marc! Great content, thanks!
Love you, love your videos. Could you do a video on outfits for full time dads? Anything you can share would help. 🤗🙌🏼
Thanks so much! This was awesome.
Nice video. Like the polo as long as it fits well and not over sized, baggy or faded.
Totally agree!
My business casual always long dress shirt+ chinos+ dress boots
Oh she's good! Real good! Thanks for the tips

Another excellenf vid. Thanks
Bruno Marc has some great, economic options for dress shoes! Just got my first pair from them!
Great video. But I can stop thinking “match belts to your shoes” my mind goes straight to white shoes, white belt haha
When choosing a leather watch, make sure that the strap color matches your belt and shoes. Here's another pointer: make sure that any metal you're wearing is the same color > for example, if you are wearing a silver watch, do NOT put a gold tie bar on the tie you're wearing- It clashes!
Basically I can wear absolutely anything I want to work but always try to look professional and well dressed.
great splashback tiles

How do you style a black pin stripe blazer?---I have tried various ideas but I am stumped
On your casual belt note, are you meaning the thicker version (width wise?)
My personal style is so far from business casual and for comfort reasons I only own cargo pants and tshirts. Seems like I'll have to invest a bit in my wardrobe for work!
@mensfashioner / anyone have any suggestions for guys with shorter upper bodies and where to find shirts that aren't always too long?
Does the belt have to match the shoes? Matchy matchy is out. Do your earrings match? Otherwise I agree with everything you say. Cheers!
2nd, lol. But more than that…Ashley and crew, you’ve got to get some gentlemen giving some before and after style pictures from watching.

I was hoping for some advice but got type casted followed by an attempt to make and my blue colour fellows feel inferior for our current closets.

What industry?
Its the exact same for me Software Industry
You do you
10/10 👏👏👏
Can I sub in Air max 97’s all white as my white leather shoes?
What belt do I wear with white sneakers? A white one? Lol
Simple guidelines, much appreciated.
could a t-shirt in a luxe fabric, chinos, and a sports coat work?
Can you perhaps make a video for smart casual for overweight men? All the guys in your videos looked good as they were skinny.
i just don't know how to dress in winter. it's really difficult
Be sure to be sub 14% body fat, 6ft tall and fit to pull off this look !
No kidding
Ashley...you are so cool...!!!
Are brown suade Timberlands considered business casual?
I was shocked how inexpensive the chukka boots are so I ordered me a pair
All I keep seeing are oxfords and loafers. Still yearning for Ashley to talk about black plain-toe bluchers. Maybe someday...
I have a question for you! What belt do you wear if you have white sneakers on
Brown or black?
Since I live in the south will my cowboy boots pass as buisness casual.
Ashley . How can a pair , sandals with white socks and shorts ? Rsrs
( Kidding ) .
Nice kitchen
Thank you 😊
The cufflinks look hot
Tucked polos only look good on super fit guys.
Hi you! I noticed your change in increasing the eye candy factor in your latest videos.
you have lydia from breaking bad vibes 💯
Thanks. The video can be short, upto 5 min.
3:57 all those shoes are more than $40
Don’t say it’s affordable, hone in more on quality and if it’s fair trade etc
What do you think of Oxford shirt, rolled up sleeve, clean white low pro leather sneaker, chinos but add a tie? I’m the only one that wears a tie, but I kinda like it… like it sets me apart.
Rolled up sleeves and ties don't go together, sorry.
@@RFerreira2009 I think the sneakers and tie combo is worse than the tie/rolled up sleeve combo

What should i wear? I start my IT job next Monday the 7th but don’t know what to wear it says to wear business attire
Came here for business casual wear for a new job, however I now believe Ashley does not have a belly button! 😅

it is definitely by body... not a clothes...
The only 2 I disagree wirh is socks and slides at lest they look better then flip flops and think there comfortable and second white socks are super nice looking and stylish I dont care
Most of my office wears t-shirts and jeans. Once I get all these items, I'll easily be the most dressy guy in the office :)
3:58 They’re Brogue Derbys. Not Oxfords.
Way to flex your bona fides Ashley with Rami Malek @ 2:10! You look good there btw...
Are white jeans acceptable for business casual?
Hello! May I ask if what is the problem with boat shoes? Thank you :)
in such situations I like turtlenecks and jackets

Nobody wears loafers
everything this girl is wearing is not business casual... unless you work at a clothing or music store lol
Great says she dressed all body styles but shows the same body type in all models...waste of time.
no one uses that "business casual" term anymore, only you
What do they call?
Hilariously vulgar. My favourite channel for the worst advice. Metal cuffs. Jesus wept.
"celebrity menswear stylist" HAHHAHAHHAA!!
and i'm 'super sexy celebrity boob checker' well if we can give ourselves titles then thats mine lol.
