Relating to or denoting a style of clothing that is less formal than traditional businesswear but is still intended to give a professional and businesslike impression.
Business Casual can seem a little confusing at times... is it business? Or is it casual? The truth is, it’s all about looking good while being comfortable and versatile so you can go from day to night, desk to dinner, or work to weekend.
Now, we're going to take a look at some of our favourite go-to outfits. With these pieces in your wardrobe, you’ll never have to worry again.
You don’t want to have to work for your look, you want your look to work for you; the next must-have piece for your wardrobe is a casual and comfortable pant. Pairing your go-to comfy pants with a floral blouse adds some femininity to your look and is perfect for going from work to weekend.
Wide leg trousers offer an elegant silhouette while still being comfortable enough to wear all day long; they look particularly great with high heels or wedges, giving you some extra height if needed.
If you’re looking for something a little more casual but want to look and feel good walking into the office; an oversized blazer and jean combo is for you. Denim is a piece that no wardrobe can go without and pairing it with a blazer makes the quintessential business casual look.
Whether you’re sticking to neutrals or adding pops of colour, it’s the perfect ensemble for a dressed down look; but still one you can take from desk to date, any day of the week.
Looking for something a little more feminine? A dress is the answer because it not only looks good, it’s comfortable too. The added plus, it’s a one-piece wonder. Make it a little less business and a little more laidback by pairing it with a casual trench – the perfect layering piece.
Try opting for classic silhouettes such as sheaths, A-line, wrap dresses and fit-and-flare styles in solid colors like navy blue, black or gray. Opting for more vibrant colors can work too — think royal blue, emerald green or burgundy — but make sure these pieces still have a conservative cut and silhouette to ensure they’re work appropriate.
Now, for a business casual trade secret: start with a jacket or layering piece and build your look from there. They’re incredible at giving a refined look with minimal effort, because getting dressed in the morning shouldn’t be the reason why you’re late for work. One way we love to style a jacket is with a minimalist top and a statement bottom.
For those days when you want something slightly more cozy than usual without sacrificing an ounce of style, cardigans are always a good choice. It's a great option for providing an elegant yet still casual look that’s ideal for work attire.
Jeans for women at work are becoming increasingly popular. The idea of wearing jeans to the office has been gaining traction over the past few years, and it’s no surprise – denim is stylish, comfortable, and versatile. While there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to what jeans are acceptable setting, skinny leg styles tend to be appropriate for most office settings. Boot cut and straight leg styles can also be suitable depending on your workplace culture. Opt for darker washes, like black or navy blue, as these colors are both timeless and sophisticated.
