official

Formal attire is often required in workplaces. Law firms, large high-tech companies, managers and employees who participate in meetings will often be required to wear formal clothing in the workplace. Button-down shirts , jackets, skirt suits for women, tailored shoes and so on. In many workplaces formal clothing will be required some of the time, for example in important meetings and the rest of the time casual or semi-casual clothing is also possible.

Business-casual

This is actually a kind of intermediate style - something between formal wear and more casual wear. Usually there are many options for combining tailored clothes with those that are not: formal but light pants with a small heel, tailored jackets combined with a smooth T-shirt, women's skirts of various types combined with button-down shirts and so on. A lot of people are looking for this exact look for a work day and if you need more information about business-casual as a dress code and how to pull off a semi-casual semi-business look, it's worth following the link.

Smart-casual

This style can be a bit confusing, but is gaining momentum in many workplaces in the world and here in Israel. It's actually a style that combines more business and formal clothing items combined with casual items. For example - long jeans and sneakers in combination with an official button-down shirt and a blazer-style jacket.

Casual

In many workplaces the dress code is casual clothing, meaning everyday clothes without special restrictions. Classic items such as jeans, printed t-shirts, dresses for everyday , mid-length women's skirts and so on.
