What is a business casual style?

Business-casual style is tailored for professional women and entrepreneurs looking refined, confident, and put together. This style boasts clean silhouettes and tailored cuts, offering excellent tailoring while maintaining a relaxed and casual feel. It seamlessly combines corporate silhouettes, structured looks, and smart tailoring to help you project authority and a higher-level presence.

Incorporating a variety of colors, textures, and prints, the business-casual style allows you to create relaxed ensembles effortlessly. It is the perfect blend, striking a balance between traditional business wear and a more easy-going, approachable style, ensuring you can effortlessly put together a sophisticated look within minutes.

Business-casual style is a look that appears smart but is still somewhat comfortable and relaxed rather than overly formal.

Some business-casual wardrobe staples include full-length wide-leg trousers, well-structured coats, oversized sweaters, classic tees, classic denim, jumpsuits, statement suits, and mid-length skirts. Adding color to a wardrobe is a great way to stand out from the crowd!

The business-casual style has a lot of elements found in the classic style; the big difference is the business-casual style includes prints and texture, which you usually won't find in a classic style.

What are

the best colors and silhouettes you should wear?

colors

Neutral colors form the foundation of a business casual style, with black, white, taupe, camel, and nude being go-to choices. However, to infuse a casual feel into this style, it's essential to incorporate color. A strategic approach involves mixing neutral colors with brighter, non-formal shades such as blue, red, pink, and green. This blend not only maintains a professional look but also adds a touch of vibrancy.

silhouettes

In a business casual-style, silhouettes are somewhat classic, featuring button-down blouses, trousers, and blazers. To strike a balance between business and casual, consider replacing classic trousers with wide-leg pants and opting for a well-fitted button-down or an oversized striped blouse.

Traditional pencil skirts can be swapped for pleated skirts. To maintain a business feel, choose heels such as traditional pointy-toe pumps, heeled sandals, or slingback heels. This approach ensures a professional yet comfortable and stylish look for women aspiring to be taken seriously in the workplace, projecting an image of authority at a higher level.

How to style
those pieces?

When crafting a business casual look tailored for professional women and women entrepreneurs, consider combining professionalism with a touch of casual flair. One effective approach is to blend casual elements, such as a simple tee, with more business-oriented pieces like a blazer.

For a less formal touch, opt for prints and colors when donning a collared shirt and classic slacks. Choose a checked silk blouse paired with vibrant-colored pants to achieve a relaxed yet refined appearance, breaking away from traditional norms. This fusion allows you to express your style identity while maintaining a professional demeanor.

Have fun

Keep styling simple. Since you will incorporate colors and prints into your outfits, it's better to have a look speak for itself. Outside of colors and patterns, fabrics play a significant role in maintaining a sophisticated look.

Keep the traditional silhouettes in place but play with different fabrics like tick wool, leather, and denim. Instead of a traditional pencil skirt, pick an A-line leather skirt and pair it with a wool sweater, or instead of wearing classic trousers, you can always exchange them for denim as long as they have a classic cut.

Best Accessories

Accessories in a business-casual style are subtle and practical. Opt for classic essentials like a versatile tote for your everyday needs, a standard black belt with a moderate width, dainty jewelry, a classic oversized scarf for added flair, and timeless glasses. Since the clothing in this style often incorporates more colors and prints, keeping accessories minimalistic allows the garments to take center stage. Keep it classic and simple to enhance the overall sophistication of your business-casual look.
