Trend We Love For Fall: Business Casual For Work and Play

Your search for work pants that check every box is over. The bestselling Old Navy High-Waisted Pixie Straight Ankle Pants ($45) are chic, comfortable, and flattering on every body type. Dress them up with heels, or opt for a funkier look with chunky loafers.

We can't get enough of the adorable back-to-school vibes of the Staud Fern Dress ($295). An ultrashort shirt minidress with a built-in tan sweater vest, this unique piece combines several different trends for a modern take on the business-casual aesthetic.

Penny loafers, once a '60s schoolgirl staple, get a grunge makeover with the thick platform soles of the Vagabond Janick Loafers ($200). Offset the preppy DNA of these shoes by styling them with baggy pants and a baby tee.

Add some flair to your office wear with the Old Navy High-Waisted Split-Front Pixie Skinny Pants ($45). These trousers are as versatile and wearable as your most basic black work pants, but the split hem lends them a high-fashion edge.

Throw it back to the late '90s and early 2000s with a long-sleeved sweater midi dress, like the Reformation Tenore Cashmere Sweater Dress ($328) in Merlot. This piece is a perfect balance of sexy and sophisticated, especially when paired with knee-high heeled boots.

A boxy blazer, like the Old Navy Soft-Brushed Oversized Blazer ($80), is a business-casual essential. Wear this jacket to the office with crisp denim or for a Friday night out with a thrifted slip minidress and boots.

The white button-down is the timeless cornerstone of the business-casual look. Our pick is the Anine Bing Mika Shirt ($179), thanks to its relaxed but not oversize fit. It can be worn loose or tucked into pants.

We love the mossy-brown color of the Vince Hand Knit Twisted Cable Shell Sweater ($365) for fall. Style it for the daytime with billowing trousers and patent-leather Mary Janes or a satin midi skirt and heels at night.
