Add simple jewelry and a strict ponytail with a middle parting. A simple, casual business look that makes a statement.
BUSINESS CASUAL
Clean chic business look
Hailey Bieber presents a look that impresses with its simplicity and clarity. The muted colors and natural tones of the outfit harmonize perfectly with each other and create a harmonious overall picture.
The blazer coat combined with the flowing trousers gives the outfit a relaxed, yet professional touch. The white top adds a fresh accent, while the straight hair underlines the clean and chic character of the look.
The look exudes a dose of self-confidence – perfect for a modern business environment!
Tip: The clean look with a muted color palette also works great with an oversized blazer. A large tote bag and comfortable loafers complete the style and are perfect companions for a long day in the office.
Cool business outfit for hot days
Demi Moore presents an elegant and airy look at the Cannes Film Festival, ideal for warm days – and in our opinion – also perfect for the office.
Demi Moore combines a light blue striped shirt and white, wide-cut trousers to create an airy and stylish outfit. Perfect for hot days, the look combines simple elegance with comfort and a touch of casualness. Simple accessories and shoes complete the look.
Tip: Linen fabrics are perfect for hot days!
Tip: The striped shirt
A light blue striped shirt, like Demi Moore’s, is a timeless, versatile piece of clothing that fits seamlessly into any capsule wardrobe. It can be worn both formally (e.g. with a blazer) and more casually (with jeans) and goes with many different business outfits and occasions. It’s also a good alternative to the classic white business shirt.
Power Dressing: 2 Business Look by Selena Gomez
The actress and business woman Selena Gomez impresses not only with her successful cosmetics label Rare Beauty but also with her outstanding business looks, which radiate both feminine elegance and strength.
Selena Gomez shows how to create a strong and stylish business look with two different approaches. Whether in classic black or bright white, both outfits combine elegance with a modern touch and are perfect for formal occasions.
Selena’s black pinstripe suit: The blazer is tailored and emphasizes the feminine silhouette, while the wide trousers exude drama with a touch of casualness. The corset-like top provides a modern touch.
Styling tips: The suit should fit well and ideally be adjusted by a tailor.
Elegance in a trendy all-white look: Selena shines in a white ensemble of blazer and trousers. The blazer is a real eye-catcher with its double-breasted button placket. Underneath she wears a lace top, which gives the look a more romantic touch.
Styling tip for everyday office life: Replace the romantic top with a simple white shirt for a look that offers a little more casualness.
Elegant business look with pencil skirt
Fashion blogger Caro Daur wears a classic, black and white office look that is anything but boring: she combines her black pencil skirt with a white cardigan. As an eye-catcher, she chooses cool black patent leather boots and a matching, shiny bag (here the trendy model “Cleo” by Prada. The strict hairstyle, the black sunglasses and a chunky gold chain round off the elegant office outfit perfectly.
For summer: dare to use colour!
Of course, it always depends a little on how conservative the company you work for is. But in general, colorful pants suits are firstly very trendy right now and secondly, they’re just fierce! Model Ashley Graham makes it particularly cool and combines a T-shirt that picks up the color of her pants suit with pointed pumps. Bright colors are perfect as a business outfit for the summer.
It doesn’t have to be bright pink. Suits in grey, dark blue, bottle green or beige also look great. Here are two more subdued versions from fashion bloggers Nina Himmelreich and Claire Rose. The white sneakers give the outfits a casual touch.
Classic office look: blouse under the sweater
A simple and also pretty cool office look from fashion blogger Lena Seifert: She wears a light pinstripe blouse with black, straight-cut trousers and a sweater in the same color. She has casually rolled up the sleeves. The basket bag and boots, both in black, make the look perfect: Because everything, except the shirt, is tone-on-tone, the focus is deliberately placed on the key piece of the look.
Business casual with jeans
Parisian fashion entrepreneur Jeanne Damas knows best how simple French elegance works. She wears a simple blue T-shirt and checked blazer with straight-cut jeans, heeled sandals and a chic black leather bag. Her obligatory messy long bob with curtain bangs is a must.
This all-white business outfit for women by fashion blogger Anouk Ye is also not difficult to recreate and looks great! White jeans plus a white blouse make a great combination. Which brings us to the next cool office item of clothing.
The office outfit classic: the white blouse
The Danish stylist and creative director Pernille Teisbaek is known for her effortless casualness. She only buttons her oversized white blouse halfway, the banana clip and the lining of her slippers pick up the color. If these shoes are too crazy for you, just wear loafers or ankle boots. White sneakers, for example the Stan Smith by Adidas , would also go well with the look.
Also cool: The white blouse is left open, revealing a white tank top. Add beige wide trousers and a trench coat in the same color.
Black coat and cool accessories
This outfit by model Winnie Harlow is perfect for any meeting. The straight-cut coat goes perfectly with the suit trousers and the collarless blouse is also very nice. Harlow’s accessories are particularly eye-catching: she wears earrings in the shape of paper clips with her gold glasses with ornate temples. How fitting!
The best basics for your business wardrobe
- Tops: White and light blue blouses or shirts in different cuts (e.g. classic, fitted or oversized), simple tops or sweaters in neutral colors such as black, gray, navy, cream…
- Bottoms: Well-fitting trousers in classic cuts such as straight-leg or slightly flared, as well as pencil skirts in black, grey or navy blue are suitable for an elegant, classic look. Wide trousers are also elegant, but usually look a little more casual. Well-fitting jeans in a dark wash are perfect for business casual days.
- Blazers and jackets: Well-cut blazers in white, black, dark blue or muted tones. A trench coat in a neutral color like beige or camel is perfect for changeable weather.
- Dresses: A simple sheath dress in a neutral color. Light summer dresses in a neutral or subtly patterned color work well on warmer days.

- Bags: A roomy tote bag in a neutral color for everyday use, a smaller shoulder bag or clutch for meetings or events. Perhaps a structured handbag in a contrasting color for a touch of color and personality.
- Colors: Classic and timeless colors such as black, white, gray, navy and beige dominate most business looks. Subdued colors can also enrich the palette. Bright colors or eye-catching patterns should only be chosen if they fit the industry and the company culture.
- Cuts: Classic cuts such as straight trousers, pencil skirts, tailored blazers and sheath dresses are usually the first choice for a professional appearance. Depending on the industry, modern oversized cuts are also suitable
Tip: Invest in well-cut clothes that flatter you and are comfortable at the same time.
