Business Casual for Women - The Essentials

1. Blazer

For business casual, a blazer is a must. It's one step down from a suit, but still dresses up an outfit elegantly. Nowadays, blazers come in many forms, colors and prints. My favorite, though, is the classic boyfriend blazer like the one below.

2. Button Up Shirt

A button up shirt is standard for business casual. You can either dress it up with a nice jacket and skirt, or dress it down with pants. Either way, having a proper button up top is absolutely necessary.

3. Pencil Skirt

You always need pencil skirts, especially for business casual attire. They are sleek; they are slimming; and they are elegant. Pencil skirts do no wrong.

4. Dark Dress Pants

Like pencil skirts, you always need a pair of dress pants, especially dark ones. They are extremely versatile, and look slimming. The Dockers below are just about perfect.

5. Black Pumps

Wearing a pair of heels can make a woman feel empowered - and who doesn't want that in a work place? The pumps below are classy yet sexy. Plus, they match just about anything.
