Business casual style for women
The business casual style allows you to create elegant and trendy outfits within the office dress code. In this direction, it is permissible to dilute the business capsule with elements from a sports or casual style, giving the image attractiveness and chic. Due to greater freedom in choosing textures, fabrics, shades and prints, it is easier to achieve visual harmony and emphasize the advantages of the figure.
Business casual does not have clear and strict boundaries, it develops and is diluted with trendy models, and is not limited to the office, allowing you to look elegant, but at the same time quite relaxed and comfortable, both on the road and at a meeting after work.
If business style requires sticking to basic colors (black, white, blue, camel), then in business casual you can move away from classic combinations and choose from a rich palette of pastel shades or noble natural ones - olive, mustard, wine, sand. Even bright and complex options like fuchsia are acceptable. The print can also be a little bolder and more expressive: large stripes and checks, a pattern with colored thread, floral motifs.
An important distinguishing feature of a relaxed business style is the variety of materials and textures. You can safely include current eco-friendly faux leather items in your office capsule: skirts, trousers or jackets. Another universal solution can be things made from technologically advanced and elastic fabrics that do not wrinkle and withstand the road well - an indispensable option for business trips or numerous meetings outside the office.
In the costume group, pay attention to jackets with a straight silhouette, a complex cut with a drawstring or with pintucks at the waistline. They can be combined with wide trousers in a men's style, an A-line skirt made of flowing fabric or a straight cut. Shirts also allow for a loose silhouette, fantasy elements and the presence of shades: lilac, pearl gray, ecru.
Which dress is better to choose for work? Laconic wrap models, classic shirt dresses - plain or with a delicate print, midi dresses with a trendy floral pattern. Complete the look with a matching or contrasting belt to highlight your waist.
In the business casual format, you can afford jeans not only on Fridays, but it is better to choose classic models with a high and medium rise in three main colors - blue, black, indigo. A loose-fitting white shirt with a V-neck would look great with these jeans.
Don't be afraid to create layered looks - a turtleneck with a straight shirt and jacket looks stylish and modern. For outerwear, give preference to a trench coat or coat with a classic cut in black or camel.
The accessory line also allows for variety, which is limited only by the sizes of the selected accessories. Statement jewelry will be too much here, but bracelets, rings, single earrings, and laconic pendants are quite appropriate.
Belts and bags may have a “snake” texture; shoes with rough or textured soles and an exaggerated square toe are acceptable. The belt will look good both with a dress and over skirts, a jacket or cardigan - experiment, try different options. A bag, shoes or accessories can be complemented with this season’s trendy decor made from chains of different sizes.
