Business Casual for Women: What It Means Now

The suit disappeared. Business casual took over its job.

1 · The numbers

Half of women wear it

In a 2023 Gallup poll, 51% of employed women said they wear business casual most days.

2 · The rule

Structure, not formality

Tailored trousers that keep a crease, a jacket that keeps its shoulder, a knit that holds its line.

3 · The shortcut

Buy a suit, wear it apart

One matching blazer and trousers give you one formal outfit and four more as separates.

4 · The print

One pattern per outfit

Printed trousers, a plain white top, a simple shoe. Everything else stays solid.
