Business Casual Attire for Women

Blogger Hoang-Kim Cung shares business casual attire for women including the j.crew parke blazer and wayf erika puff sleeve top

A lot has changed since early 2020, including the standards for workwear. With changing times, I wanted to do a business casual attire for women roundup. What I love about these pieces is they can be worn for more than just professional occasions, making them truly versatile staples for your wardrobe.

J.Crew Parke Blazer

This blazer has been a favorite of mine for a long time. It’s quite timeless and also well constructed, so I know I’m going to have it for a long time. Whatever you throw it over is immediately dressed up, which makes hopping on a Zoom call or heading out after work easy. The wool has a slight stretch to it that makes it very comfortable, and I really appreciate the wide range of sizes.

WAYF Erika Puff Sleeve Top

Tops with a little extra embellishment like this one are key to elevating business casual attire for women. The lace is very well made and has a good weight to it, and combined with details such as the puff sleeve and ruffled collar, feels both current and classic. There’s so many ways to dress this up or down!

AG The Legging Skinny Ankle Jeans

I believe denim can be appropriate for work, especially nowadays. Even with the minor distressed detailing, these jeans still look quite polished. What I love most is how comfortable they are! They’re so soft and have the perfect amount of stretch. Ill-fitting pants can be such a distraction in meetings or while working on a project, and you don’t have to worry about that with these.

M.M.LaFleur The Foster Pant

No one does business casual attire for women better than M.M.LaFleur! These pants are absolutely fantastic, and marry structure and stretch beautifully. The adjustable hem is brilliant, as is how they’re machine-washable. 

M.M.LaFleur Choe Top

What I love about this crewneck is how it’s as comfortable as a t-shirt with its stretchy knit favorite, but has the tailored structure of a nicer top. Another win for business casual attire for women from M.M.LaFleur!

Leatherology Laptop Envelope Sleeve

A great laptop sleeve will last you a long time, especially one this functional. I appreciate the thinner sleeve that still provides more than adequate protection, as well as the easy magnetic closure. My favorite part is the back pocket for papers to keep your things tidy and organized. Plus, the personalization makes it look extra chic!

Sam Edelman Hazel Pointed Toe Pump

These classic pointed toe heels are a must-have for business casual attire for women! A pointed toe extends the look of your legs and makes you look taller, and this style specifically is incredibly comfortable. It also comes in tons of different colors! 

Steve Madden Thrived Bootie

I’ve been a big fan of booties for a long time. They’re casual, but add some nice height that make them versatile! Like I said above, a pointed toe is extra flattering because it makes you look taller. The V-cut topline here accomplishes the same thing.

SWEES Leather Apple Watch Band

An Apple Watch is essential for any professional, making a leather watch band essential business casual attire for women. The material is soft and comfortable enough to wear all the time, and the brown matches everything.

Kendra Scott Elle Drop Earrings

Kendra Scott earrings have always been a favorite of mine, especially this timeless pair. With the simple silhouette and color, you can pair them with almost any outfit, and when you look closer, the pattern is super beautiful!

Too Faced Melted Matte Lipstick

Beauty is absolutely a part of business casual attire for women, especially when you take meetings from home. It may be the only thing your co-workers see of you! This pigmented lipstick is applied like a gloss but dries into a work-appropriate matte finish. It will stay on for the entire day, so you’ll always look put together even if you don’t reapply.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Liner

This is such an amazing lip liner! It looks so realistic and blends super well. I also love how creamy and smooth it is. Because of all this, it doesn’t need lipstick or gloss on top if you don’t want to add any. You can get a very natural look that looks beautiful in person and on camera.
