The business casual dress code: capsule wardrobe example

[@stormbringer_666]

I just got a job that requires this dress code and I had no idea what to wear. Thank you, this helped me TONS! Now I'm ready to do some shopping 😊

[@wonderwardrobe]

Oh, that's cool, congrats on a new job! I am glad my video was helpful! Have fun shopping and choose well!

[@lenaeospeixinhos]

This is why I'm here as well, I'm terrified, never needed to dress this way before 😬

[@user-xw1yh2py4j]

This music is the epitome of business casual.

[@MarilynWright_]

😂😂😂 yes!

[@annaburns2865]

No wonder i don’t understand it then. The music sounds like Paris. Is doesn’t make sense in America.

[@co4295]

This is pure gold. Simple, clean, helpful content. I’ve watched this four times and I always come back hoping to memorize your exemples and not making mistakes when buying clothes ever again. Thank you!

[@patriciabazan9318]

HR offices should show this video to everybody

[@DiannaFerris]

Wow, I had no idea how different work fashions are in other geographic areas. Though I know those of us in (U.S.) tech dress more casual than many, your business casual is perfectly appropriate for everyday business wear in the U.S. And many items on your don't-wear list are fine for business and business casual.

[@amalar4695]

Yeah many of her don’t wear items are ones I have seen so many women wear at work and even at conferences etc! I work in tech too

[@legkoln]

Thanks for video! Would you like to give us an example of "no-heels-wardrobe"? I'm kinda active person and i hate wearing high heels, but the majority of stylish outfits which i see in internet are created with heels. Maybe there are some special tips for looking good, wearing flat shoes, and still not too short or too sporty? Thanks!

[@lanaello3517]

that would be helpful+++++++++++

[@wonderwardrobe]

+Svitlana Zhyliaieva agree! It's a very good idea! I'll try to make a video about it ❤️

[@kooltom4]

Agreed, I'd like that too, I never wear heels.

[@cyrielle8803]

I think that loafers are classy and can almost always replace heels

[@tabithak5943]

Payless has a pair of nude and black flats I wear everyday to work. They're closed heel/closed toe and pair well with business attire. I typically wear pants that hit at the ankle or right past it so the shoes work well. Every outfit I wear with the flats look great with heels as well so I'm not compromising the look for ease of movement www.payless.com/womens-dexflex-comfort-claire-scrunch-flat-shoe/70092.html?dwvar_70092_color=nude#start=4&cgid=women-flats

[@MrBuddydance]

This is extraordinary. I wish I had the skill or formula to create this kind of multifunctional and logical wardrobe.

[@wonderwardrobe]

Do you know that I have an online course where I teach how to create a wardrobe like that for yourself? It’s a skill and you can learn it :) Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpvcn6Rvi9aEmsk

[@monis.4382]

It really depends which office you are referring to, some printed pants are acceptable at some offices.

[@wonderwardrobe]

+Fashion Fun yes, that’s what I said in the beginning that the rules may vary depending on the industry or climate

[@kokolatte825]

Monique Smith I was thinking the same. I was like should I not wear my printed pants!? Now I'm not sure. 🤔

[@KaylaMarie_]

Dresses, and no sleeves too

[@BettyAlexandriaPride]

@@kokolatte825 Whenever you're not sure, ask a supervisor or anyone over dress code for clarification. That goes a long way. :)

[@auntshug4853]

I think she is in a different country. I love printed pants!

[@Kairi808chan]

I love seeing how you go about putting a capsule together. It's so nice to see the process involved instead of just the final product. And thank you for explaining everything as you go along! Your videos are very informative and fun to watch!

[@wonderwardrobe]

+Mossmallow thank you so much! I am so glad to hear that! More goodies are coming ❤️

[@raqueltedesco8075]

Idk how she did that but I’m amazed 😩🤩

[@Flora8]

KZbin is missing videos like this one, thank you for this very helpful video. I work in a federal reserve bank with a very strict dress code and this video was very useful.

[@wonderwardrobe]

+Lotus ASMR you're very welcome! I've just posted a new one for the strict dress code, I think you might also like it ❤️

[@MarjolaineDaudrumez]

Leopard print is now considered a neutral and fits most work environements. You can wear it with a blazer 🙂

[@mleanca]

I like how you smile while talking. Your discussions are informative yet breezing and easy to understand

[@wonderwardrobe]

Thank you! So glad you liked it!

[@followthedancers]

still can't get it in my head how you get so many outfits out of so few items! Daria, could you link the items in your description box in future? I fall in love with many clothes from your videos :)

[@Kelbel5995]

This is hands down THE BEST video I have ever seen regarding what is/is not appropriate in a business casual setting. Totally brilliant, and thank you for your advice and expertise! I just got a new job that is business casual and so finding this video came at a perfect time for me, as I'm building a new work wardrobe almost from scratch.

[@wonderwardrobe]

Great! Congrats with your new job! Have fun building your Wonder wardrobe ;)

[@drdancerlisa]

I'm in the mental health field which has always been more relaxed around dress than the average setting. But I have always thought that was a mistake. When people are sitting there sharing the most revealing, intimate, and painful things in their life, well, that's all the more reason we need to be somewhat structured. It shows respect and an appropriate gravitas to the subject matter. In addition, my personal style is more toward the classic end. After many years of thinking, researching and experimenting, I am finally finding a style that looks professional and stylish, but also can be creative and even playful. At the same time, I'm not trying to attract attention to me. My services aren't about me, but about my client. I don't want to wear clothes that insist "look at me." I just want to be quietly confident and stylish and attractive in my apparel and my demeanor. (And in that way, I may even inspire some of my clients to do the same for themselves.) Also, I can add that now in my mid-50's, I am dressing more in my personal life too. I think the older you get, the more important it is to go out of the house with the poise and dignity that suits your age i.e.., not meaning formal or stiff, but well groomed and well put-together (including for errands, shopping, travel, vacation, or leisure.) And the less physical beauty we have as we age, the more we need to provide something attractive for the viewer. I think it shows respect to others. Thank you for your tips. P.S. I hate it when women wear sandals (hi or lo) to work. What makes them think we want to view their toes all day? Let's face it: most toes just aren't attractive!

[@yvetishere]

Could you do a video about the webshops that you use? And how to find the right shops for different types of people ?

[@josieTheDuck]

Another great video! I've never worked in an office with a dress code and sometimes it led to strange situations. For example, male colleague once came to work wearing flip-flops, female colleagues were wearing sundresses like at a beach which looked very inappropriate. I think people in the West have more understanding of these things than here in post-soviet world :) Thank you very much for you work again and, you know, after I've started watching your channel I haven't bought a single clothing item that I wouldn't wear. My wardrobe is getting better and better. I am very happy!

[@wonderwardrobe]

+Katya-Katya oh yes, haha I know what you mean. When there are no rules it can get wild. I am so happy for you and your wardrobe. It's wonderful. 💛

[@ellienguyen3650]

Thank you for the video. I love the way you use picture and show yes and no pieces toghether, so it's easy to remember. Totally love the smart mix and match. It gives a good lesson for women to think about how a new piece suits well with another at home before buying. And yes, it's seems easy yet really difficult to have a small wardrobe but wide selection of outfits, but it worths trying for.

[@abbysadd2854]

got a job and first day they want business casual this helped me a tone thankyou.

[@judithpeil3848]

I really love your videos. However I fall in love with some pieces, especially the red bag, and wish I could shop those outfits that you created. But there is no description in the box below. If you could at least mention the shops you are browsing around would be much appreciated. But basically as always great content. Love love love your videos. Judith

[@unicorntea8244]

Can you do a video for business formal too? ☺️ Also if you could show us a little more of the search process that would be awesome ^^

[@wonderwardrobe]

+Katy N yes, it will be up next! 😉

[@kooltom4]

You have such a flair for mix and matching Daria, wonderful choices. Love that colour palette.

[@wonderwardrobe]

+Stacey Mcalister thank you so much!

[@nonchalant5315]

thank you for this Daria, I'm going to share this to the people in the office to stop the debate once and for all

[@anye76]

very helpful. i just got a new job in an office and business casual attire is what is to be worn. I always feel overdressed and so many others to me are underdressed. one girl came in wearings dirty UGGS, jeggings and sloppy sweatshirt. i would never wear that to work in any job. that's lounge around the house clothing. i needed help getting the balance right, this video helped. thank you ♥

[@wonderwardrobe]

Don’t worry about feeling overdressed. If someone else doesn’t respect their workplace and doesn’t even try to look decent it’s not your fault. Be professional and people will notice.

[@rosee.mari.333]

My favourite of all your capsules!! I know that this comment is late, but I watch this one on repeat.

[@neele17t]

Hello, I think the way you presented your information was very clear, professional and yet sweet. Thanks a lot! Really helpful. Can you please share the name of the background music. It's lovely.

[@michellekaiser5907]

I love this video! (I realize it's a few years old.) Watching it though, really hammered home for me how I live in an area where the world's "business casual" is very close to "business day-to-day" here and that the world's formal is more of a special events wardrobe. I am in Charleston, South Carolina, USA. So, the climate is mild to hot and after work outfits are mostly "beach ready".

[@lubaleong9619]

Thank you Daria! ❤ I like how you gave us a glimpse of your process of searching on the Internet. I would like to know a little more, especially how you managed to put a capsule wardrobe together in 45 minutes!

[@LaurenOliviArt]

I’m really into thrifting and finding items like this without breaking the bank! I’m excited !

[@tofuteeth]

Please do a video on finding your skin undertones and what colours of clothing you should go for! I think hearing from your perspective (as a professional consultant) will be more helpful!

[@yichispiritual]

Business Casual is definitely a topic to test the capabilities of the stylist (same as the fried rice in Chinese culture). And you did it perfectly!

[@wonderwardrobe]

Thank you! ☺️

[@katieanderson8639]

You used my favorite colors to wear in your capsule wardrobe

This video is business casual. - A fully formal wardrobe would be suits, button up shirts with blazers, ties, neutral colors, suit jackets, blazers. - A casual wardrobe would be jeans, sweaters, teeshirts, maybe pairing jeans with a blouse, sneakers, hoodie sweatshirts
