Business casual mostly adheres to the same basic idea at all times: no jacket, no tie, no denim, no sneakers. It needs to land somewhere in between a suit and tee-shirt/jeans and be fit to be seen by your staff and your clients.
Since the basic idea is separate pieces rather a full-on suit that is bought together and made to go together, you’ve got some freedom in how you assemble your business casual looks. From the feet up, a chocolate brown shoe is less severe than black, and a high shine is sharp and playful. Pants in a textured fabric like wool or corduroy have a rich feel while being comfortable, and look great in dark gray or even dark olive.
The upper body is all about layering and pattern. It looks smart and gives you options if you’re going from inside to outside or going from room to room with different climate controls. A patterned button down shirt under a zip-up sweater will give you the layers and the style. Make sure to get some contrast; light shirt and dark sweater, or vice versa.
Just like business, business casual dressing is about the big picture, and it makes financial sense. Fill any holes in your wardrobe (do you need a few more shirts, a couple new sweaters), pick up a few new items each season to stay on trend, and keep making use of what you’ve got from seasons past.
That’s how to keep business casual from just being business as usual.
