3. When in doubt, choose minimalism. As in, don’t just slip back into your old 2010 threads. “I suggest a bit of a wardrobe detox,” says fashion editor Jorden Bickham, who frequently styles shoots for Vogue, of approaching a more modern business-casual look. “Strip it back a little: clean, streamlined trousers. Maybe a vest. Monochromatic separates. Don’t forget a blouse with a strong collar and a strong bag, to pull the look together. Think Bette Porter from the original L Word—ultimate 2000s power dressing for 2022.”
4. Yes, you can wear a statement necklace—but a new kind! “Maybe now it is less about the big single statement necklaces, and making a statement by mixing multiple necklaces,” says Bornstein of accessories. “I love the idea of having multiple chains and charms of different lengths and sizes, or doing more of a throwback and going for a long chain with a statement pendant (sort of like an Elsa Peretti vibe).”
5. For men, it’s all about the subtle details. Hollywood stylist Avo Yermagyan, who dresses Nick Jonas and Leslie Odom Jr., says successful business-casual style comes down to three simple style swaps. “Replace the black, dark blue, and gray suits in your closet with brown, powder blue and tan hued suits,” he says. “Also, opt for light sweater underpinnings with a pop of color, or an intricate print instead of a button down—they will add a bit of fun and a more relaxed feel to an otherwise simple and conservative suit.” Lastly, for footwear, he suggests, “switch out the polite choice of loafer or dress shoe with a more daring choice of sneaker.”
