Runway to workspace isn’t necessarily an expected transition, but this spring, business casual has become more than just boardroom chic. These are our favorite finds that embody the fresh and colorful palettes of this season.
Leave the chill of winter behind by refreshing your wardrobe with this spring’s “it” color—ice blue. A light wool top layer like Stella McCartney’s oversized blazer works perfectly for combatting the quickly shifting spring breezes, but if you’re looking to ease into the color, try adding an ice blue belt like Valentino Garavani’s VLogo Signature to your favorite trousers. Prefer a blue with darker undertones? Look for light periwinkles or iris blues, like the one featured in Elie Saab’s Cady Jumpsuit.
Florals are always a mainstay of spring fashion, and whether or not there are spring showers, you can bring the flowers with bold prints like Erdem’s Silk-Chiffon Midi Dress or The Oxford Shirt Co.’s Floral Earth Shirt. If that’s too much vibrancy for your closet, you could instead opt for earth-toned staples with bright accents, like Scarosso’s Giancarlo Marrone Chelsea Boots. Going on a business trip, or want to level up your carry-on luggage game? The new GOLF le FLEUR suitcase—designed by American rapper and producer, Tyler the Creator—falls into this neutral-but-make-it-pop category.
If you’re really ready to lean into the vivid colors and eye-catching patterns of spring while still embodying everyday business casual, stock up on bold accessories like Blaiz Mexico’s Large Woven Tote Bag or Hermès’ Bonnie Sailor Beret (woven bags and berets are trendy in general!). You could also bring the same energy to your overall workspace with desktop accessories like Lexon’s Keith Haring Happy Gift Set.
