There are some articles of clothing that can overlap (like cardigans and such), but in general these don&#8217;t mix.  Even on our jeans days (when I can be more adventurous in my clothing choices), I stick to very strict dress rules.  Thus, I have some jeans that I will never ever wear to work (e.g. ones that are distressed or worn-in or have holes, even if these are intentional because of the style).<\/p>\n<p>Today I realized that I&#8217;m not alone in my wardrobe philosophy.  Contrary to popular belief, &#8220;business casual&#8221; does not mean &#8220;anything but jeans.&#8221; I think sometimes people forget the &#8220;business&#8221; part.  There is a clear distinction between &#8220;business casual&#8221; and &#8220;party casual&#8221; and &#8220;weekend casual&#8221; and there are other people (besides me) who <em>can<\/em> tell the difference. What a revelation!  Now I don&#8217;t have to feel like such a nerd for dressing like a nerd at work.
