To help you in the meantime, here are some useful tips on perfecting that business casual look.

  1. Adding a jacket or blazer is one of the quickest and easiest ways to pull an outfit together.

  3. Don’t call attention to anything but your work performance! Clothes that fit well look more professional. Visit a tailor if you need to!

What does Casual dressing in the office mean, exactly?

Some corporate cultures feel their employees will be more productive if they dress comfortably. Who wouldn’t want to feel as comfortable as possible while working an 8-10 hour day? Given that, the term “casual” in the workplace has taken on a whole different meaning.

Workchic.com thinks it is still important to pull together your look when coming to work. We will be showcasing the latest trends in clothing and accessories so you can make your casual outfit workchic appropriate!

Pull yourself together and soon you will be promotion or raise worthy!

To help you in the meantime, here are some useful tips to keep that casual outfit workchic!

  1. No stains, holes, rips, tears or snags allowed! Keep your outfit neat and simple.
  2. Layer a light sweater or cardigan with a dress. It pulls your look together and it fits easily into that chic new bag of yours!
  3. Darker denim is a do at the office. Pair it with a cute, billowy top and flats to perfect that casual look
  4. If you feel the slightest bit hesitant when looking in the mirror then don’t wear it!
