Hi, I'm Brandy Joy Smith, and I'm a wardrobe stylist. The key to business casual dress is to look sophisticated and professional with simple lines and soft fabrics. Let's take a look at Emma in a very chic tailored trousered pant by Zara. The brown color is more casual than a pair of black slacks and the pleats keep the look appropriate for any business meeting. The top by Yummy Tummy has a work friendly neck line. Because it's a tank top, the cut still carries a casual air. Another way to add a bit of style to this look is with a fashionable pair of earrings like these drop earrings by Kendra Scott. To finish off Emma's look, we've added a pair of python flats. They're shiny and stylish and packed with flair which helps add some points without going overboard. When looking for accessories to finish off your business casual look, feel free to have a little fun. Flashy accessories can compliment an otherwise conservative look.
