Achieve the ideal balance between comfort and elegance. The concept of business casual can feel ambiguous at times, making it challenging to put an outfit together. We consulted the experts at Boscov’s to devise a stunning business casual look for men and women and set us up for wardrobe success.
Rock Your Roll
Vegan leather gives this look a rocker feel, while the skirt’s knee-length hem, combined with a flared cut, is spot-on for wearing in a professional environment. Pleats enhance the design, and the A-line shape provides a flattering fit and makes the skirt comfortable to wear. Best of all, in addition to being animal-friendly, vegan leather fabric is frequently made from a variety of plant-based or even recycled materials.
The black-and-white sweater is a perfect choice to complement the skirt. Since both parts of the outfit are the same classic black shade, it offers an elongated silhouette. It also makes the difference in the soft knit of the sweater and the smooth shine of the leather even more striking. The sweater’s elbow-length sleeves are a great choice for transitional seasons like the fall. The white, ruffled cuffs stand out in this otherwise all-black ensemble, and the black bows are an eye-catching, fun detail.
Classic black pumps are a wardrobe staple and pair well with this outfit. For fans of capsule wardrobes, these pieces are ideal additions to your closet. You can mix and match the sweater with slacks or wear the skirt with a variety of tops to create even more business casual looks.

Meet the Classics
Chinos represent the perfect intersection of stylish and casual. These pants feature a slightly tapered silhouette, and front creases offer a polished look. This cotton fabric is durable yet lightweight and will keep you cooler than denim. But, like your favorite jeans, they have plenty of convenient pockets. Since the neutral hue goes with every color of shirt or blazer, you can make these pants the foundation of multiple outfits.
In a striking counterpoint, the deep color of the navy blazer pops when paired with the tan chinos. Way back, blazers were connected with collegiate sports and naval lore, but today this versatile piece is simply a standout choice to wear to the office. This classic navy blazer has decorative buttons on the sleeves and two buttons on the front, which can be worn open to convey a more relaxed vibe. Sold solo rather than as part of a suit set, blazers make an awesome addition that can be worn with all kinds of pants.
Underneath the blazer, a powder blue button-down shirt adds crisp refinement to the ensemble without being too formal. To complete the look, a wider brown belt supports the casual aesthetic. With their smooth, undecorated surface, the brown oxfords provide a stylish and comfortable footwear option.
