Business Casual for Women – Great Looks for This Winter


With winter approaching, you may find yourself reaching for something warmer to wear for work. If you work in a business casual environment, or if you have casual dress days, it can be hard to determine what to wear. You want to choose something comfortable yet still look put together.

What is Business Casual?

Business casual attire is defined differently by almost everyone, but there are a few common “rules.” T-shirts and sweatshirts should be clean and well-kept – not ripped or frayed. Pants and tops should be work-appropriate, well-fitting and modest. Slogans with profanity or other obscenities are generally not acceptable. In other words, remember that you are still going into your place of busines. You can be casual without being sloppy if you have the right business casual outfits.
