Every time my job changed, my closet had to change with it. New rooms, new meetings, and more than once I wasn’t sure what to wear for where I was now.
These are three outfits that work for a business casual office in fall and winter. None of them are complicated. They are formulas: once you have the pieces, you can mix them all week.
1. The classic business casual look
A light blue button-down with brown trousers is about as classic as it gets, and it works in almost any office. The scarf and gold accessories keep it from feeling plain.
The pieces
- Top: light blue button-down shirt
- Pants: brown wide-leg trousers
- Belt: brown leather belt
- Scarf: navy printed silk scarf
- Bag: brown structured tote
- Shoes: brown slingback heels
- Jewelry: gold watch and gold earrings
Tip: wide-leg trousers balance out a fitted top. Look for a high rise so the shirt stays tucked.
2. The winter work formula
When it gets cold, swap the button-down for a soft sweater and add a blazer on top. The burgundy blazer is the piece that makes it look like you meant it.
The pieces
- Blazer: burgundy single-button blazer
- Sweater: blush crewneck sweater
- Pants: dark wide-leg trousers
- Bag: cognac tote
- Boots: black block-heel ankle boots

3. The blazer and trouser formula
A camel blazer over a simple knit top is the easiest outfit to repeat. Change the top and you have a new look without buying a new blazer.
The pieces
- Blazer: camel blazer
- Top: cream ribbed knit top
- Pants: brown straight-leg trousers
- Shoes: nude loafers
What to look for when you shop
- Blazers: check the shoulder seam. If it sits on your shoulder bone, the rest can be tailored.
- Trousers: a high rise and a little stretch make all-day sitting easier.
- Colors: brown, camel, burgundy and cream all mix with each other, so every piece goes with every other piece.
Prices and sizes on Amazon change often, so check the size chart and current price before you order.
