It may not be easy when you want to dress well and professionally but are attempting business casual or relaxed dressing.
When preparing for work or a meeting, wear good-looking yet comfortable clothes in the morning.
That is why it is important to have timeless pieces such as a blazer or fashion-forward pieces such as jumpsuits.
Below are the 19 business casual outfit that every woman should own for both, work and other occasions.

2. Tailored blazer
A good blazer is ideal to wear for that smart look that every smart lady desires to achieve.
It can even glamorise t-shirts to look like office wear for the ladies.
Avoid brightly coloured blazers.
They are hard to accessorize. Instead, choose black, grey, or navy blazers.
The shape of the blazer must be tailored for a tailored fit and the body should be properly fitted but not too much.
It can be combined with a blouse, a shirt or even a dress and will add a professional appearance to your outfit.
3. Pencil skirt
A pencil skirt is one of the most business casual outfits possible, and they look great at work nonetheless.
It is a tight-fitting skirt that is normally worn at knee length and therefore ideal for most working places.
One can wear it together with blouses, shirts, or even sweaters to create the best look.
Pencil skirts come in various colours and fabrics. For a versatile option, choose a plain colour.
This way, you can easily mix and match different tops.
It qualifies as work-appropriate as long as it is not skin-tight or above the knee.
4. Blouse with subtle prints

Straight-leg trousers look formal and corporate.
You can pair them with blouses, t-shirts, casual shirts, or knitted wear, depending on how formal you need to be at work.
6. Knee-length dress
A dress that reaches the knees is comfortable and suitable for business wear as part of business casual dressing.
We believe that the length of the dress is ideal for the workplace; it is not too revealing but still looks rather trendy.
For business casual outfits, stick to solid colours or subtle prints. Avoid anything too flashy.
You can choose to wear them alone, or also over a more formal blazer to crisp them up a little.
Dresses are great because they’re easy to wear but still look polished, not too casual.
7. Lightweight sweater
A blazer is a versatile garment that you can wear to work while still looking smart due to its light nature.
So, it is advisable to buy sweaters with simpler patterns and in more neutral shades, as they are more versatile.
A sweater can be worn in combination with a shirt, or alone with trousers or skirts.
Do not wear thick or very heavy sweaters as they may appear too informal for the workplace.
8. Cropped pants
Business casual can be stylish and fun with cropped pants.
These pants sit low and end at the ankles. They go well with blouses, shirts, or sweaters.
They are of different designs; ranging from straight hems to a faint flare hem and they blend well with the fashion trends today.
Cropped pants are also ideal for people who want to flaunt their shoes, be it loafers or flats.
9. Wrap dress
A wrap dress is elegant and flatters many body types, making it ideal for business casual wear.

Suit-like shift dresses with no discernible patterns or in pastel colours are appropriate for the workplace.
They can be worn singly or accessorized with a blazer or a cardigan over them.
The elegance and menagerie of the shift dress allow wearing it for almost any occasion.
16. Chic jumpsuit
A black belt looks great with a jumpsuit for business casual. Jumpsuits are modern and trendy.
It is like wearing a one-piece attire to work but still presentable enough for work.
When choosing jumpsuits for the office, opt for well-tailored ones and stick to basic colours.
A jumpsuit also looks classy if worn together with high heels and a blazer, as it does when worn with flats.
It will easily transition from a corporate environment to cocktails/drinks or other social engagements.
17. Structured bag
To accessorize the business casual attire, a structured bag is needed to finish off the look.
A bag is useful for carrying your purse and documents. It also helps to make your outfit look smarter.
Choose medium to large bags with minimal detailing. Avoid flashy colours. Black, grey, or beige are ideal.
A structured bag aids in maintaining a smart and orderly appearance which is ideal especially for working individuals.
18. Black dress pants
Black dress pants are essential for business casual outfits.
They look good with any top, like blouses or sweaters. They are comfortable for long days and still look formal.
