The ULTIMATE Business Casual Capsule Wardrobe | 15 Menswear Wardrobe Essentials

We're continuing our series on how to build a capsule wardrobe with we're calling our ultimate business casual capsule wardrobe. Business casual is a dress code that basically means "look nice" but don't overdo it. The beauty of a business casual dress code is that putting together an outfit that fits within it is incredibly simple. And to illustrate that, in this video I've put together 15 business casual menswear wardrobe essentials along with 10 different outfit ideas. Enjoy!

Wow, I desperately needed this information. I usually go to the office dressed like a P.E. Teacher.

[@uddhavgaming7546]

What do you do for a living?

[@mercuryelite]

Good to know I was not the only one

[@D11111]

​@@uddhavgaming7546I think he's a PE teacher.

[@phucpham2594]

I've always appreciated your choice: Simple, versatile, classic, and no-brainer. I tried to start my wardrobe journey since college but always got overwhelmed by all the recommendations from the internet, ending up spending a lot of wasted money. I love how your "essentials" are actually essential, which helps beginners not overthinking and overspending on clothes imo

[@hespokestyle]

EXACTLY. Thanks!

[@ordinaryopinion4081]

Yep I’m in this boat. Just graduated college and got a corporate job that requires business casual. I have some of this stuff but this was a great guide

[@Zoneread24]

This man know how to dress lol. People gotta take notes. It’s not what you wear or how expensive it is, but how well it fits your body and presents style.

[@ankurperiwal9704]

I think Brain should do more Capsule wardrobe with color schemes such as Brown, Grey etc because he is the BEST at this :D

[@hespokestyle]

Good ideas!

[@RobLBirdMan717]

what about warmer climate business casual? let's say Singapore, hot and humid.

[@nicelliott1175]

As a university student, this is definitely one of the best "dressier" capsule wardrobes that I have seen. I would change out a couple of pieces to better fit my personal preferences and colouring and add a white poplin shirt and solid tie for a full suit look, but I can see myself wearing everything in this video and being able to build this wardrobe over the course of a year or two. Wonderful advice, thank you!

[@zikapavlovic8729]

Perfect video for beginner - useful, plain & simple, affordable -I love it! Thank you so much!

[@j.a.c.3264]

Saw this video at the right time, since I'm starting my new job. Definitely liked a lot of things that you showed that I can use. And it gives me the chance to start cleaning out my closet and slowly upgrading it.

[@saxophonicmusician]

Love the symplistic style of the outfits you choose, I am just getting back into wearing business casual, It builds confidence in yourself and others around you. Great video.

[@okay333666]

This month I'm starting my first full time job in an office and this has really helped me understand what I need to wear. Thank you so much!

[@iaj7517]

I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them very much. Very professional, straightforward, great style, production and explanations. By far you produce one of the best men's style videos out there! Thank you!!

[@nak6608]

Thank you so much for this video. Going from the essentials to examples was really intuitive and helpful!

[@peterh8771]

best style guru on KZbin, hands down. Thank you so much - I've almost bought everything in your beginner capsule wardrobe and have already received many compliments. Plus I feel more confident and put together. Thank you!

[@ocs2599]

thank you so much, i usually don't struggle with finding my own style and dressing well but i always need an outline or a base of ideas first. your video just helped me find just that !

[@liamcollins9183]

I've found your capsule wardrobe videos really helpful. I recently started my first proper job after finishing university, and the general dresscode is business casual, and I've been building up my office wardrobe these last couple of months. Some days I'll wear a suit (usually sans tie), but most days thats a bit too formal, so your business casual outfit suggestions have been a godsend 😄.

[@JGComments]

Thank you! When I saw the denim I knew this was my capsule. Just getting started after years of being in “uniform”, so tremendously helpful!

[@juniorcampbell2980]

The grey sports coat was just the perfect shade of grey.

[@hespokestyle]

Many thanks, Junior.

[@woodsmaneh952]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@christopherespinal9018]

Just got my first office job and wow this was an amazing watch. Best part was not being able to tell when pieces were recycled between outfits. Everything was super clean and different in my opinion. 15 pieces and about 2 weeks worth of wear. Can’t argue with that. Subscribed!

[@c3vs241]

Really nice combination for smart casual 👍

[@djamiouohounko6268]

Classic and top!

[@JoeAbrams1287]

My go-to wardrobe on a daily basis. Even when I don't have to dress up, I still like to add a little formality in my outfits (sportcoats, knit ties etc.). Great inspiration, as always, Brian! You're the man!

[@hespokestyle]

Appreciate that, Joe!

[@MrRaechermitBecher]

Thank you man! Starting my first day soon and now we can go shop these things. really liked the shoes!

The Brown suede looks superb. Really love that gray jacket. The tone kind of lightens the look and really polishes off those outfits.

[@hespokestyle]

Many thanks, Lonnie.

Sent this to my teen who is just learning all of this for his new job. Thanks for keeping this so simple for a beginner.

[@Vincent_Napolitano]

Excellent selection of clothing, well thinked combinations, just absolutely great !

[@hespokestyle]

Thank you so much!

[@richieday]

I appreciate the detail given in showing the pieces off. Such as a hop sack suit vs a navy suit. It really allows us to understand the difference. I know that I really do. Thanks!!!

[@hespokestyle]

You're very welcome.

[@justincarrizales1206]

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

The lights grey jacket and demon shirt you’re wearing while talking to camera is an excellent match of visual texture. I didn’t see the appear of the denim shirt for a long time. Now a fine denim shirt is one of my favourite shirts. It’s easily dressed up or down.

[@hespokestyle]

Sweet! Thanks, as always, for the comment, Michael.

Nowadays, casual business is the rule. Thanks for this video! Really helpful!

Great pieces, I am nearly done with building my basic business casual wardobe and am so glad to see a lot of the boxes checked. And thank you for recommending Grey Flannel, I have to say it was a bit out of my comfort zone the first time I tried it, but I am getting to really appreciate it. Cheers!

[@hespokestyle]

You are so welcome!

[@rafael-rossi]

The selection of shoes is outstanding. Love the suede oxfords and the boots!

[@fluentinromance]

For the past 10 years or so I've followed several mens style/grooming channels. As I got older, I realized most of the mainstream 1m+ channels were just not for me; and I was a dedicated viewer for so long. The over-the-top loud online personalities and sponsorships that took up half a video really got to me. Not to mention the legitimately terrible fashion advice. I just started a new job working for the state and I've got to say; your channel and The Modest Man have been a breath of fresh air. I've been mostly a workwear kind of dude but the change in my environment called for a workplace rebrand. Thanks for all you do man. This channel provides some great content and insight.

[@sartajjaved7930]

Love the capsule wardrobe videos. Keep it up Brian :)

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks! Will do!

[@JakeSmith-jy1kx]

My notion of casual is more casual than your notion. Especially when you got to that suit. Whoa, that would be so formal in my office and not a single person would think it was business casual. We are a no-shorts = business casual type of office. So running shoes, acid wash jeans, and a hoodie are typical. A suit would look out of place, no matter how good it looks.

[@q-storm767]

It's been nearly six months since I started my new banking job. I'm always on the hunt for business casual ideas. I really like look#2 with the v neck sweater..I love v-neck sweaters 🙂👍🏿👍🏿

[@danielduggan5405]

I'm liking these capsule videos. Not only does it show the versatility of great basics, but I think it reminds us that simple outfits can look great. I like look no. 3 for that reason. The light grey flannel sport coat is so simple but will always look great. And the patterns on the shirt and tie show that pieces don't need to grab one's attention to be effective. Thanks, as always, Brian.

[@hespokestyle]

Glad you like them!

[@renebrito6423]

Nice job. Thanks for the pointers. Adding a few pieces. Very elegant and well shot video.

One of best recent clothing buys was my denim shirt. Those shirts are very versitale, and easily makes you add a unexpected touch that most of people don't wear.

[@hespokestyle]

Yes, indeed.

[@LazyR]

I never even thought about a denim shirt before I started watching this channel (didn't really know dressier denim shirts were a thing). Now it is my favourite piece out of my entire wardrobe because of the sheer versatility

[@grafiek]

As always Brian fantastic content

INSTANT CLICK! Spot on Brian!

[@hespokestyle]

Nice! Thanks for the comment!

[@Thomas77850]

Business casual is my favorite dress style. There are tons of option/layer/style you can play in this range. Shirt, plain sweater and kaki or chino with dress shoes or boots in winter is what I wear everyday at the office and that's more formal than 90% of what my coworker wear. If I got a meeting just take off the knitwear and than put a nice sport jacket and you're ready to go. If I should go on field (construction site) just but heavier chino or dark jeans and you're set (with all the safety equipment of course).

[@christopher-gardner]

Flexed on us hard with those RRL jeans, nice.

Great looks Brian! Working in a school environment, my go to is chinos+dress shoes/boots+dress shirt(+sweater in fall/winter). If there is a school board meeting or a more formal event, I swap chinos for dress pants, crew-neck sweater for a v-neck and a tie.

Did I ever mention I like your shoe game? Those Oxfords look incredible. Outfit #1 was my go-to to work. I did prefer a light-blue pocket square though, it felt better in my eyes. A great ensamble, I really like the pieces layering a button-up shirt with a sweater, it's versatile enough to be great for the office, a meeting, yet also not "too much" for most daily activities.

Hello Bryan, amazing job putting together the outfits, you have helped me a lot. I have a question, ¿what color of socks would you recommend when using dark brown loafers and khaki chinos?

[@benraus]

Really enjoyed this video, thanks! Just started a new job within tech and have begun building out a new capsule wardrobe. Have a weeklong company retreat coming up in the south of France and will need to probably dial it down a bit more casual but this certainly helps with ideas. Could these be dressed down slightly with white common projects, suede loafers and rm Williams boots? Thanks again.
