What is Business Attire?

Think of business attire as what you would wear to an interview. Business attire is generally worn in a professional setting, important meetings and other formal work environments. How you should dress strongly depends on your company’s dress code and the cultural norm. In some cases, your place of employment may have a business casual policy in which you only need a simple blouse and a nice pair of pants or a skirt. In others, there is a strict dress code that requires traditional business attire. However, there are varying levels of business attire that typically range from formal to business casual.

Formal vs. Casual Business Attire

Traditional business attire typically consists of skirts or women’s suits that are worn with formal blouses or career tops. It’s best to find suits in a neutral color like black or dark gray to pair with closed-toe shoes and appropriate accessories such as a briefcase or leather folder. While women are encouraged to keep their jewelry subtle, you can still shop for various accessories that add a touch of elegance to your attire.

Casual business attire, on the other hand, can be considered as the middle ground between formal and casual attire. Women still wear a combination of skirts, pants, and blouses. However, sandals or peep-toe shoes are often permissible in some office environments.

Women’s Business Suits

Generally speaking, suits are a popular type of business formal attire. For women, they consist of a stylish blazer and either a pair of matching pants or a skirt. You’ll find the right suit to fit any occasion with a wide variety of color choices including women’s black suits and women’s blue suits. In addition to the color, pay attention to the length of the suit. Ensure that the length of the sleeves end at your wrist without covering your hands and the skirt comes to the top of your knees. If you are instead wearing a pair of slacks, the trouser cuff should hit the midway point of whatever shoes you wear.

Business Tops for Women

When searching for business tops, a button-down shirt is a perfect choice because it comes in a variety of fabrics, colors, and patterns. Not only is it suitable for most business formal occasions but you’ll love the stylish versatility that it offers. Try coordinating the color of the shirt with the pattern or color of your suit. Avoid bright or neon colors that attract unwanted attention. Instead, opt for tones like black shirts, white shirts, and blue shirts, as well as light colors.

Whether you prefer bootcut, flared, skinny or straight pants – the options are endless. And for those warmer days, dress to impress with women’s career skirts!

Women’s Footwear

If you’re searching for shoes to wear with formal business attire, women’s pumps are the way to go. Not only are they be comfortable to wear but stylish as well. Closed-toe shoes are preferred for formal business environments, but flats and heels are appropriate alternatives. Complete your outfit with jewelry and handbags to fit any necessary documents.
