Business casual?

[Bernadine]

What would you wear for a business casual event? Early spring, but it would still be chilly. Black jeans and blouse? Boots?

I don't think I'd wear jeans, but maybe pixie pants or ankle pants, blouse, sweater, or shell w/ cardigan etc based on the weather. My shoe choice would depend on the type of event -- if I was likely to do a lot of standing, I'd wear cute flats. If it was mostly sitting I'd do heels. Booties could also be cute. I don't think I'd do tall boots.

I wouldn't wear jeans to business casual. Pants with a sweater or blouse. Maybe a casual blazer/jacket.

For me, when in doubt, I wear a solid black dress.

Jeans are not business casual. If it was an indoor event, I'd wear a dress. Outdoor event, dress pants, nice top, and cardigan.

What industry and what's the event? Networking happy hour? Company retreat? Depending on shoes and the blouse, you might be able to do black jeans.

With the right accessories, I think it could work.

I wouldn't wear jeans.

Skinny pants (not too tight), cute blouse with or without a blazer or cardigan, ankle boots or dressy sandal depending on weather

I agree with no jeans.

I think you'd be fine with a dress/cardigan or like previously said, pixie type pants, shirt and cardigan, flats.

Either of those options is what I wear to work every day and we are defined as business casual.

Thanks! I'll look for some ankle pants.

It's a Democratic summit, and I'm a candidate for the local Central Committee.

As a candidate, I would definitely step up my outfit.

Maybe a wrap dress or slacks and a blouse. Cardigan or blazer if it's cool.

You kind of buried the lead there. Lol.
Good luck! Definitely don't wear jeans.

Slim cut ankle pants in a fun color and blazer in a more casual fabric in black or gray OR swap... fun colored blazer, black slim cut pants.

This. I just did an even and wore dark green ankle pants with a black blazer and got a ton of compliments.

I’m a constant “dress with tights and boots” girl.

Check out White House Black Market. I always get compliments on my pants from there.

[FastHands]

Definitely no jeans with the update.
Good luck!

I went into one for the first time yesterday. They have beautiful things that would work for business casual. I saw some really nice spring dresses.
