Office Outfit HQ glossary
Business casual
The dress code between suits and weekend: tailored trousers or chinos, collared shirt or fine knit, leather shoes, blazer optional.
Smart casual
One notch below business casual - dark jeans allowed, collars optional, but everything fitted, clean, and intentional.
Unstructured blazer
A jacket without padding or stiff canvas in the shoulders; the modern, relaxed alternative to the tailored suit jacket.
Work capsule
A small set of combining work pieces (typically 12-15) chosen so every top works with every bottom, multiplying outfit count.
Cost per wear
A garment's price divided by times worn; the metric that makes a $300 blazer worn weekly cheaper than a $60 one worn twice.
Moire
The shimmering interference pattern tight stripes and checks create on camera; the reason solid colors rule video calls.
