It’s possible to remain trendy while dressing for the professional world. Dressing business casual is full of classics, but a true fashionista can keep up with the trends and incorporating them into her work attire. For many of us, summer vacations are over (or soon will be) — and we’re back in the office full-time. Yet, it’s still blazing hot outside.

The business casual basics remain to be blouses, pencil skirts, blazers, slacks, flats, pumps and accessorized with watches, totes, statement necklaces and the likes. These classics are still a huge part of dressing professional, and can easily be sunny skies and hot temperature-friendly.

Here are Downtown Magazine‘s favorite business casual trends to add to your professional wardrobe. A business woman is powerful, but a fashionable business woman is unstoppable.
