Power casual. Business comfort. Workleisure. Business Florida. All terms floating around to describe how people are dressing for work these days — when they actually go into an office, that is.

This isn’t just a trend reflected in the meeting room, either. It’s having an actual impact on retail sales, with apparel sales way up in the last year, particularly for things like denim and sneakers, according to the New York Times, which also reports that dress footwear sales declined 34%.
When it comes to job interviews, however, conservatism still reigns. It’s always a good idea to dress up for an interview, whether it’s in person or over Zoom.
