The Best Business Casual Dresses

“What do I wear?” is the last thing you want to be asking yourself before a workday, but if the question keeps popping into your head, it’s time to take a hard look at the office-appropriate options in your closet. Ideally, you should have a few pairs of slacks, some go-to blouses and blazers, and most importantly, a solid lineup of business casual dresses. 

Now, let’s talk about office-appropriate dresses. Typically, these styles will hit just above the knee or lower and have more structure to them than something like a sundress would. Many have design additions like collars and built-in waist belts, but simple sheaths also fall into the business casual dress category. Also, while patterns and vibrant colors aren’t necessarily looked down on, most women's work dresses come in more subtle shades and patterns. Not sure where to start? Ahead, see which business casual dresses shoppers swear by, from recognizable names like J.Crew, Quince, and Banana Republic, and more.
