Business Looks

Businessmen in Russia usually wear dark (with the exception of the hot summer season) well tailored suits along with the expensive shoes. A businessmans wardrobe demonstrates the individuals image as a professional. Top businessmen sometimes have their personal image makers who create business looks for them.

Women dress rather conservatively, avoiding overly flashy or gaudy outfits. However, this rule cant be applied to the sphere of fashion, design, and other creative industries.

Attending informal dinner in a citizens home, casual dress of slacks and a nice shirt without a tie are appropriate if the details of dress-code are not mentioned in the invitation.

In fact, there are two main types of "business dress", Professional Dress and Business Casual, depending on the type of the company.

Professional Dress is the most conservative type of business wear, mostly often met in accounting, finance, etc. For women, this means a business suit or a pants suit, or a dress and a jacket. For men, professional dress means a business suit or a blazer, dress pants and a tie.

Business Casual is a more relaxed version of "Professional Dress", but it doesnt mean that the employees are allowed to be absolutely casual, and some meetings and events still require Professional Dress. Basically, business casual is a shirt with a collar and/or a sweater, dress pants and nice shoes for women. Women can also sometimes wear a moderate length dress or skirt (knee-length or longer). For men, business casual is a polo shirt or shirt with a collar and/or sweater, dress pants and dress shoes. No tie is required.
