How do add personal style to your business casual outfits.
The business casual dress code doesn’t have to be boring or basic.
There’s plenty of room left for experimentation.
So don’t be afraid to incorporate your own style into your work wardrobe and show a little bit of your personality.
One way to do that is by adding interesting designs and patterns but keeping your colour palette pretty formal and conservative.
Here’s a video that explains how to do that. I suggest you come back to it when you’re ready to put your outfits together.
From formal winter business to winter business casual.
For example, here I have a pretty formal palette with all the business-like colors: white, grey, navy, light pink.
But when you look at the design of clothes the capsule doesn’t look very business formal.
There are some special nuances here like these beautiful statement dresses, pink plisse skirt, floral shirt patterns and a burgundy accent bag.
Now let me show you another way of approaching the business casual dress code.
Personal business casual through colors.
It involves expressing yourself through colours.
If you decide to go with this method, I’d recommend choosing clothing in a classic, quite formal design but that also has a beautiful, unusual colour or pattern.
For example, for today’s wonder wardrobe example I’d like to incorporate red, tangerine, firebrick, burgundy, orange, brown, grey and navy.
When you look at these colours together, they don’t give you that formal and stiff business-like impression. On the contrary, they are deep, energetic and bold. I love that!
How to keep the business casual look alive.
Now to make these colours look appropriate for a business-casual environment I would need to find clothes that have a classic and formal design.
Which means I will not include anything too trendy, avant-guard or complicated.
Only clean, simple cuts and lines, good tailoring, and high-quality fabrics.
For today’s capsule I will try to include 1 dress, 6 tops, 6 bottoms, 2 blazers, 1 coat, 2 bags and 2 pairs of shoes.
Hopefully, this will result in at least 40 versatile outfit possibilities.
the colours.
Winter business casual wardrobe: casual office work wear.
The second category includes outfits that are perfect for everyday work at the office.
They are not too formal as they don’t include a blazer but they are not overly casual either.
This time I have more skirts than usual.
To add variety to this wardrobe I chose skirts that have very different designs and so the outfits will also look different.
Winter business casual wardrobe: desk work wear.
The third category consists of outfits that are more toned down.
They will be perfect for those days when you just need to focus on some tasks, but make you feel comfortable and relaxed.
They mostly have neutral colours and that is what makes them look slightly more casual and easy.
