business casual is the ultimate in-between dress code it's kind of like
the Goldilocks of dress codes not too dressy not too casual but just right
what's up guys I'm Brian Sakawa you're watching he spoke style and today 5
business casual outfit ideas for fall
one way to do business casual is to combine dressy elements with those that
are more sporty or casual here I'm doing both let's take care of the dressy
element first though and that is this pair of charcoal gray flannel pants
absolute must for the fall closet these are part of a suit from the
made-to-measure collection with Michael Andrews that we are launching in the
next couple of months up top we get more sporty and casual starting with the
brown gingham shirt and then instead of a blazer I threw on this black Levi's
denim jacket I like to call it my blazer with an edge tie is by C Orton's turn
very seasonal in a thick wool and also this beautiful rust color on my wrist as
it will be in each of these looks as the Vacheron Constantin traditional and then
finished off with a pair of dark brown wingtips these are the Allen Edmonds
McAllister next up is a very traditional and simple approach to business casual
sport coat shirt pants loafers all in the classic menswear palette of blue
grey and brown so the sport coat is definitely the key piece to this look
it's the garment that stands out and that is because of the wonderful Brown
Glen plaid pattern really pops off the solid foundation the flannel cloth is by
fox patch pockets give it a more casual feel and this is another piece that will
be in the HSS michael andrews MTM collection will put a sign-up link up
there at the top as well as down in the description so you can be the first to
find out about it to basics for the foundation of this look of course the
blue OC BD and then the charcoal flannel pants from the first look to inch cuff
as always and then on my feet are these Kielty loafers with a strap by G H Bass
next we have something that is sophisticated elegant and yet modern at
the same time obviously everything about this outfit hinges upon the turtleneck
and instead of running it untucked that I've chosen to tuck it in the turtleneck
itself is by peeny parma cashmere and wool blend the pdepartment is an italian
brand very similar to suits apply and I will be doing a review of them in the
near future now tucking in a turtleneck is a very
high-risk high-reward proposition done right I think it looks very cool very
sleek very modern moving on to the pants now these are from a ring jacket suit
again two-inch cuff look like this that has more of sophistication to it is
always enhanced in my opinion by a pair of glasses the ones I'm wearing one of
my favorite pairs are by qubits simple watch on the wrists and then keeping
that casual elegant vibe going with some tassel loafers by Johnston and Murphy
here we have what I would consider to be a more business casual version of the
quote-unquote uniform the uniform of course being navy jacket blue or white
shirt tie gray pants brown shoes so obviously we have the navy jacket this
is in a hopsack fabric by michael andrews grey flannel pants also by
michael andrews now let's talk about the more casual elements infused here first
we have the shirt this is a denim shirt it's by Peter Millar and for business
casual I think a denim shirt is a great substitution for your classic OCME Dior
poplin or twill shirt just gives it a little bit of a casual edge next because
the uniform is pretty much a blank slate and because this is business casual we
have an opportunity to do something interesting with the time went with a
houndstooth pattern here which makes it the focal point of the look and then the
final casual touch are these suede lace-ups by Todd's final outfit today is
a variation on a sport coat button-down trousers theme now when it comes to
business casual I can't overstate the importance of having a good sport coat
and having two is better than one here I've got another Michael Andrew sport
coat but instead of a Glen plaid we have a gun Club check cloth is wool by
Holland and sherry again patch pockets keeping it casual
underneath going with another denim shirt this is a button down by Brunello
Cucinelli pants are vintage YSL part of a suit that I paid about $200 for a
secondhand a number of years ago and then one of the best accessories you can
have for fall which is a lightweight silk scarf I think if you're not going
to wear a tie that a scarf is a great way to add something extra to a look
kind of finish it off and pull everything together and speaking of
pulling everything together let's talk about the shoes dark burgundy tassel
loafers by Johnson and Murphy so those are five outfit ideas for doing business
casual this fall all outfit details as always are listed down below in the
