Business casual tops <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Business casual tops can include blouses, button-ups, and even more casual cotton shirts if paired with the right bottoms. Business casual tops should be simple and fairly conservative, so they can be easily mixed and matched for a number of different outfits. Some business casual staples include neutral-colored blouses that can be paired well with slacks or jeans, and soft cotton t-shirts or long-sleeved shirts that can be matched with skirts or dress pants. But if you want your outfit to \u201cpop,\u201d try going for more colorful, patterned blouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business casual bottoms can include slacks, pants, jeans and skirts, leaving a lot of room for diversity. When choosing a business casual bottom, it can be helpful to first assess the level of formality of your top.

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBusiness casual dresses <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Business casual dresses should remain professionally appropriate in terms of length, material, and straps. In other words, business casual dresses shouldn\u2019t be too short, too tight or too clingy, and should typically be made of something fancier than cotton. Additionally, business casual dresses can have thick sleeveless straps, or be short- or long-sleeved, depending on personal preference. The right business casual dress should be easily paired with a cardigan or blazer and a variety of shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBusiness casual shoes <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Business casual shoes can be dressy sandals, boots, flats and even heels. However, it\u2019s important to keep the latter comfortable — you certainly don\u2019t want to struggle walking through the office or come home with blisters all over your feet. To keep it professional, it\u2019s good to have heels either 3 inches or smaller, and to avoid shoes that are too flashy (you might want to keep the bright red pumps at home). Business casual shoes should be easy to walk in and easily paired with tops and bottoms, so it\u2019s a good idea to have some solid black and brown shoes handy. But, if you want to make your shoes more fun, try experimenting with a patterned mule, or a vibrant sandal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jewelry can be an important accent to a business casual outfit, allowing you to express your style in unique ways. However, business casual jewelry shouldn\u2019t be too distracting or blinged-out \u2026 after all, you\u2019re still in a professional environment. That being said, necklaces, bracelets and earrings can be great ways to add a little flare to an outfit. For instance, adding a statement necklace to a white t-shirt and slacks can transform a casual look into the perfect business<\/i> casual look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gathering clothes for a professional wardrobe can sometimes feel like a daunting task– particularly when you have tuition, rent, food and nightlife expenses to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But buying new clothes in college doesn\u2019t have to put you in a financial hole.
