Business casuals and formals are significantly different from each other. Once you know the difference between the two, it gets easy to choose and dress accordingly. Business casuals are a little more relaxed and comfort-oriented style without compromising on the formal look intended for work. Formal outfits on the other hand are more conventional and are typically reserved for more sophisticated and professional occasions like professional client meetings or boardroom meetings. The main idea to dress up for any formal occasion is not just to look sharp, but to feel confident and comfortable.
For a more casual occasion at work, you could pair your pants with a semi-formal jacket and a basic top so it doesn’t steal the focus from your jacket, or you could spring all the attention onto your top with interesting prints and design details, pairing it up with a classic pair of pants. In any case, try not to be too loud with colour combinations. For formal wear, simple and minimal is the way to get a clean, crisp look. Our favourite is a slim-fit navy suit paired with white shirts and heels. With regard to accessories, make sure to choose minimal jewellery and a sleek monochromatic handbag. And remember, the same suit will look completely different when worn with a different coloured shirt or top, so repeat your suits by styling it differently each time.
