Now that the new season has finally graced us with its presence, I recently embarked on a little bit of spring outfit research.  After all, it’s time to get serious. Whether it was on Instagram, the runways, TikTok, or real-life street style, all my favorite outfits seemed to have a similar vibe that, at first, I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Eventually, it came to me. And while it might sound strange, I concluded that business-casual is majorly trending. 

What exactly does that mean? Think of it as the coolest outfit one could possibly wear to work, or an outfit you would have worn last spring but this time, you’re replacing your jeans with a tailored skirt or trousers. Light blazers, knits, button-downs, structured bags, and polished heels all have a place here as well. When you combine two or more of the above, you’re left with nothing short of sartorial magic. To see and shop all my business-casual picks for spring, broken up by category, simply keep scrolling. 

Jackets

Nili Lotan is making so many of my favorite pieces this season.

Tops

I'm a sucker for anything in hunter green, but J.Crew really does make a great blazer.

I'm taking notes on this combination of neutral colors. 

This will go well with every pair of pants or skirt that you own.

Bottoms

As someone who bought it, I can vouch for how completely perfect this skirt is.

I love that this is offered in petite and extended sizes, as well.

Built-in belts make everything better.

Anyone in need of expensive-looking pants on a budget?

Don't sleep on the tailored Bermuda short.

Gray is a nice alternative to black when you want to lighten up your looks.

Accessories

I'm so glad belts are back in the spotlight.

Shoes

Our whole team is obsessed with these shoes.

I'm not opposed to a loafer and sock moment.

The barely-there shoe that you can wear with everything this season.

The buckle detailing gives these that little extra magic.

Buy them and you'll want to wear them every time you go out.
