casual wear

Informal everyday attire

Casual wear is clothing suitable for informal, everyday situations rather than professional or formal settings.

The category includes jeans, t-shirts, sneakers, and similar relaxed garments: The office switched to casual wear on Fridays.

The boundaries shift with context—what counts as casual at a law firm might be dressy elsewhere.
