Are sequins business casual?

June 1, 2009

So my office is business attire Monday through Thursday, but then Friday is what's called "business casual." The problem is that no one at work - NO ONE AT WORK - can tell me what exactly "business casual" means for a woman.

For men, it's simple. Either they wear pants with a shirt, no jacket and tie, or maybe they go one step below and wear chinos or khaki pants with a golf shirt. What's the female equivalent of khakis and a golf shirt, though?

I've decided, therefore, that "woman biz casual" translates to a pair of slacks and a nice shirt. That's what I'm aiming for, anyway. But see, I've got this really cute plum shirt that looks great with my light tan slacks. Problem is is that said plum shirt has, well, sequins on it.

I know that fringe or rhinestones or lots of rick-rack wouldn't be business casual, but what about sequins? Can I get away with them on Fridays?
