Dressing for work can be effortless and easy. All you need to do is build a capsule wardrobe with essentials. When you fill your work wardrobe with essentials, it is so easy to go into your closet to pick an outfit and all of the items can be mixed and matched
This is your Ultimate Guide to Business Casual Essentials:
1. Blazers
Blazers are the perfect essential to go over all of your basic tops. They are comfortable and stylish for the perfect outfit. They can be dressed up or dressed down depending on how you style them.
If you style them with heels, they can be dressed up or a cute pair of sneakers can dress them down. Either way, they are a perfect essential for your wardrobe.
2. Essential Tops
Having a variety of essential basics allows you to create so many more outfits than you could with bold statement pieces. Bodysuits and button-downs are the perfect business casual look you need to diversify your closet. You should stick to neutral colors that will look chic and sophisticated so that it won't be noticed as a "repeat" item.
Bodysuits are great for layering. You can style them with a coat or cardigan and a cute necklace or pair of earrings. They are also comfortable so you can look more casual.
If you are looking to elevate the look, a button-down shirt is my go-to. It elevated the look while still looking effortless. If you have an oversized button-down, you can layer it with a bodysuit underneath as well.
3. Pants
Having a few pants that you love are a must! I will splurge a little on pants because they are staple items that you can wear for years with so many outfits. I would much rather have a few high-quality pants than a bunch of cheap pants I won't want for long.
That being said, I have found some really great joggers on Amazon that are really affordable and I wear them all the time for a business casual look. They are also stretchy and so comfortable so they make the day a little bit better.
4. Shoes
Your shoes dramatically change your outfit and the whole vibe. You can dress almost any outfit up with heels, down with sneakers, and either way with boots. Adding a tan heel will definitely add to the corporate look.
Adding these black boots will make it feel cute and put together and a kitten heel always looks good at work. Wearing a pair of sneakers can be a cute casual office look as well.
5. Accessories
