It’s your first Friday at a new job. You stand in front of your closet, unsure if that new tie is too formal or if your weekend threads are too casual. Are you dressing for comfort or style? Choppy and unpredictable can be the waters of any Casual Friday. Whether you work in a traditional business office, a creative work environment or in education, 225 has gathered a handful of Casual Friday veterans to inspire you.
Casual Friday with teachers Matthew Romaire and Leah Avellone.
For teachers, their favorite day, other than the last day of school, is Casual Friday. Male educators can swap khakis for clean denim and still look professional enough to shape young minds. Female teachers, layer denim with other textures like a tweed blazer or printed pants to add interest to your look without distracting students. A scarf is an easy accessory for the ladies and perfect for greeting children during carpool duty.
