50 Ways to Get a Beautiful Business Casual Look

Do you have occasions to dress in business casual clothes?  Even if you are over 60, you may still be working.  Or maybe you work as a consultant or on a part-time or freelance basis.  Or you may attend conferences or events where you need to present yourself in a professional light.  Age doesn’t matter.  We are more healthy today and our bodies age more slowly than ever before.  Lifelong health plays a part, as well as medical advances and more opportunities to follow our bliss.  Following are 50 ways to get a beautiful business casual look, as well as the elements of style that can help you master it in even more ways!

Some elements that create a business casual look:

• dark-wash jeans,
• a zip-front or otherwise casual black blazer,
• laid-back bracelets,
• leggings with dressy skirt ensembles.

Dark Denim or Embellished Jeans

Black or white jeans, when crisp, un-ripped and paired with a dressy top or jacket, looks dressier than khakis.

If jeans are acceptable in your line of work, dark denim is the most dressed-up look.  Embellished denim might work where you work (no pun intended; lol!) but dark denim is best.

1. Day to Evening:  A black blazer + a gray v-neck t-shirt + jeans.  Add pumps.  For evening, add bling + a clutch.
2. From a hike in the woods to business casual:  Bootcut jeans + your favorite sweater + boots.  You might also want to add a plaid blazer.
3. Tone a cardigan and matching-color tank top to a blazer with jeans.  For example:  an ivory tank + an ivory cardigan + a beige tweed blazer + blue jeans.  You may then want to add a long gold pendant and a big gold watch.
4. White, gray, teal or black cardigan + dark denim + a blouse or tunic or an embellished sweater.
5. A pretty-color cardigan worn buttoned up as a top + dark denim.  Add a scarf in a color to match the cardigan.
