 Jackets and Outerwear

For jackets and outerwear, I decided to stick with the staples. If you want to be minimalistic for your capsule wardrobe, a classic trench coat is all you need! Trench coats are the perfect piece that can be worn when it’s colder out or when there’s just a slight breeze. They won’t be too heavy!

You need a blazer or two in a business casual capsule wardrobe, so I chose the ones above! I believe that everyone needs a plaid blazer in their business casual wardrobe. They’re usually neutral but also add some life to your outfit! I would also recommend having a black blazer, as well.

The last piece of outerwear you need is a cardigan (Not entirely sure this counts as outerwear, but we’re going to roll with it). But they are perfect for throwing on when the weather starts cooling down, but it’s not cold enough to bring out the jackets yet. I am a firm believer that everyone needs a good cardigan or two in their closet. I have too many to count because I am ALWAYS chilly in my office. But if you don’t wear cardigans too often, I would still suggest having one or two to style and add some layers to your fall outfit.

Tops and Dresses

When it comes to tops, the easiest thing to do is start will solid colors. A plain black or white button-up is always a staple in any work wardrobe.
I also wanted to throw in a cami, too! I personally always try to keep a few in my closet. They are perfect for layering and switching out throughout the seasons.
I also included a black sheath dress. Sheath dresses are a staple in business casual wardrobes, and that’s why I knew I wanted to add one. These styles will make you look slim while accenting your waist! Dresses are such an easy go-to when it comes to a business casual wardrobe.

Bottoms

Pants and skirts are a must in any workwear wardrobe! These are no exception to that. I wanted to round up five that you could mix and match to give you the most amount of options! I wanted to make sure I incorporated styles that everyone could love/wear! Pencil skirts look great when worn with a tank/blouse and a blazer. I also threw a little bit more pattern in there with the plaid print one!
I went simple with a black and navy blue pair of slacks for pants and threw in a brick red pair for a little fall color.

It’s always fun to add a little color and pattern into your wardrobe, but having at least one pair of black and one pair of blue pants that can go with everything is necessary for a capsule wardrobe!
