casuals

Dress-down day clothes

Casuals are clothes suitable for informal occasions—jeans, t-shirts, comfortable shoes rather than business attire or formalwear: I packed mostly casuals for the trip.

In British usage, casuals can also refer to workers employed on a temporary or irregular basis, or to soccer hooligans who dress in designer sportswear to avoid police detection.
