| tenisghs, I work in the aforementioned state and "cords" if they have jean pockets and jean stitching are not allowed in our business casual office except on a sanctioned "casual Fridays" nor are they allowed in any of our midwest offices. Occasionally someone who is coming in for a couple hours then leaving might have "jean cords". The OP will be fine in what she has chosen to wear, but I would caution aspiring-to-work students to tread cautiously on the "jean cords" if the office is "business casual" and they have any desire to progress up the ladder. If you are young you are always better off dressing "the part"...always unless you firmly have a grasp on what can pass. When business casual hit the scene I honestly had the job of giving seminars on what is and what isn't business casual...many people do not understand what the intent of that really is - not saying you don't, just saying if a company says they have a "business casual" dress code, the intent was never to allow corduroy jeans. Corduroy trouser pants are different and perhaps this is what you meant. |
