Dressing for Business in Chicago

Chicago corporations commonly operate a business casual dress code with smarter casual clothes in subdued colours often worn with a suit jacket. In most client-customer business situations more formal clothing is worn, typically a business suit.

During the summer, choose natural fabrics to help counter the heat and humidity. In the winter warm clothing, including a thick full length coat are advisable to combat the freezing outdoor temperatures.

Greeting someone in Chicago

A handshake is the usual greeting throughout the United States. Most people address each other by their first names, but at business meetings and formal functions, the using of a person's title and last name is preferable.
