So we’ve covered the casual workplace. Next up: business casual! Business casual usually means no jeans, but no suits either. For the men, this usually translates into a polo or button-down shirt and khakis. For women, sweaters, nice tops, skirts, and pants are all acceptable.
And good news: you can still have some fun with your shoes in a business casual environment! I would stay away from sandals, but any of these would be a nice choice for a business casual environment.
Okay, I just love the Raddia: I love the print on the body of the shoe; I love black and gray together; I love the folded draping around the toe. I love it all! It also has an itty-bitty nubbin of a heel which you can’t see in this photo, but it’s sort of adorable. Also available in this print in black and gold, or solid pink or black—your choice for $79 from Nine West.
The Gardner by Joan and David has the “business” in its traditional shape, and the “casual” in the warm orange color and the little heel! I am just a sucker for those teardrop-shaped cutouts on the pointed toe, and the bow! What’s not to love? Also available in black and “bronze pearl;” find them at Zappos for $105.
I think nautical is appropriate for probably any office, so I’m digging the Astor Wedge by Unisa. With a navy and white striped upper, bow at the peep toe, cork at the toe, and woven 2.5-inch wedge, it’s classic, summery, and stylish all at once. Find them at DSW for $50.
That “casual” part doesn’t mean you can’t wear tall heels to a business casual office, if you love high heels (like I do!). It just means that you have a little more leeway with the styles you can wear!
Sure, the Trickster by ABS by Allan Schwartz a classic pump. But it’s pink! And the four-inch heel is gold! And if you look carefully above the heel—why, it’s a hint of leopard! Here’s a better view of it on the aqua one:
The aqua, sadly, is down to size 6 only, but there are pairs of pink, brown, and black in more sizes, looking for love! Find them all at Macy’s for $75.
Next week: the professional office, and that in-between office that’s more than business casual but less than full professional!
