business casual
noun
chiefly US
: a style of dressing for white-collar employees that is less formal than traditional business attire
I sat at my desk the other afternoon, dressed in business casual, and wistfully fingered my most recent pay stub. … And I thought as I've thought before: perhaps it's no coincidence that business casual is sweeping the country just as white-collar job security evaporates.—Jay Weiser, New Republic, 26 Feb. 1996
