officewear

Cubicle-appropriate clothing

Officewear is clothing appropriate for a professional workplace—typically business casual or formal attire like slacks, blouses, blazers, and dress shoes.

The term appears in fashion retail and workplace dress codes: The store's officewear section features suits and button-downs.

What counts as officewear varies by industry and has grown more casual in many settings.
