Business Casual Style Inspiration For Women

With a large majority of businesses now adopting a more ‘Business Casual’ style of dressing, Style Doctors has been helping more and more women move away from the traditional business attire of yesteryear.

2019 has been a big year in terms of style in the business world with companies such as Goldman Sachs publicly announcing their new ‘more relaxed’ dress code. Lots of businesses are following suit and as stylists, we are seeing a major shift in the corporate world.

But naturally, with anything new comes a set of challenges as many people have adopted a ‘uniform’ for most of their working careers (whether that’s a set of shift dresses that you wear on rotation on a a few trouser suits that you update yearly).

The good news is that times are changing and this new dress code allows more creativity, personality and freedom.

Following on from our blog post about business casual for men, we are focusing on business casual for women in this blog post.

Having a wardrobe full of items that can be mixed and matched together to create multiple outfits is the key. Any good wardrobe needs wardrobe staples that will act as a base for all outfits. These would include, a great pair of trousers in navy, neutral (nude/tan/beige) or black, a well-fitted blazer, blouses/tops in various colours, nude and black heels.
