Business Casual Outfits

For those of you that wear "business casual" attire to work what kinds of outfits do you wear? I have a lot of slacks/pants, skirts, and short sleeved/sleeveless tops. I do not have to wear a suit jacket. It's freezing out so I'm wondering what to wear on top with pants/heels? When I go shopping I am seeing so many long sweaters and tops meant for leggings. Then, I see camisoles and blouses meant for inside a suit jacket, it's too cold to just wear the lighter tops and like I said I don't have to wear a suit jacket (I will feel over-dressed). I know my other option is button down long sleeved shirts but that would mean ironing LOL!

Alfani button downs = no ironing! Take them out of the dryer while they are still damp and hang them up!

I like wrap sweaters with a cami underneath with slacks.

Could you wear leggings with a sweater dress?

I am starting a new job so I'll have to see what everyone else wears. Comfy leggings would be nice!

Re: Business Casual Outfits

Now that it's cold I wear a sweater pretty much every day. A thick cable knit or turtleneck type, nothing fancy, with my work pants. Or I layer a cardigan over a thin black or white shirt.

I mostly wear tailored cardigans over pants or a skirt. I don't like bulky sweaters for work (don't seem dressy enough), and the button down shirt with pants look feels unfinished to me.

I have been wearing a lot of pull over v-necks out of laziness, but they probably arne't dressy enough. Sometimes I will wear a sleeves collared shirt underneath, but I prefer cardigans, but right now mine either need buttons sewn on, to be hand washed, or iron ( yes , even my knits!)

I don't really find leggings work appropriate.

Re: Business Casual Outfits

Usually sweaters or sweater cardigans over some of the lighter weight blouses you mentioned.

Re: Business Casual Outfits

I usually wear sweaters every day--sometimes a button-down with a casual blazer, sometimes a cardigan with a shell underneath.

Re: Business Casual Outfits

Sweaters. I hardly ever wear a cardigan.

Most of my sweaters are from The Limited and NY&Co.
