If you have a non-office type business such as repair, salons, delivery, or sales then a casual button-down would be ideal. The casualness of the shirts will allow customers or clients to feel more relaxed and familiar with the employees. You would not expect a repairman to wear a three piece suit to do repairs, but you can expect them to wear a casual button-down shirt with work pants and work boots.
What your employees will be doing is something to consider when ordering shirts for your business. If they work in a casual setting then a casual button-down shirt is an option. They can give a professional appearance without being sloppy with more freedom of movement than a constricting traditional shirt.
You would not want your employees’ movements to be hampered if they need to work in close spaces such as car engines or under sinks so why pick a shirt that will not aid your employees. Long sleeves can also be a safety issue and most non-casual shirts have long sleeves, you wouldn’t want a long sleeve to catch on any machinery that can cause physical harm to an employee that could have been avoided with a shorter more casual sleeve.
Casual shirts may also have advantages that have to be considered before choosing the casual look.
