Decoding Business Causal with A V-Neck Sweater

The first professional obstacle most of us will face is decoding the phrase ‘business casual’. The mystery of this oxymoron lies in the challenge of finding the balance between the t-shirt and jeans uniform that defined our youth and the suit and tie (or pencil skirt and pumps respectively), that we perceive as our professional future. But let us offer you the key to demystifying this corporate conundrum: The V-Neck Sweater.

A Sweater for Sweltering Heat

A sweltering office doesn’t give you a free pass for t-shirts and shorts, but a breathable v neck sweater can do wonders for keeping you cool.

His:  For a little light layering, anchor your v neck sweater with a scoop neck tee. A t-shirt in a contrasting color will add color and dimension to your look without the extra bulk. Try a pair of lightweight, slim-fitting pants to elevate your ensemble. Stay cool when you go sans socks in a pair of loafers. Consider a few accessories to keep your look professional like a watch and tortoise shell shades.

Hers: Let your v-neck sweater fly solo for an elegant way to show off your decolletage. A clavicle-bearing collar line will elongate your neck and flatter your face. Front tuck your sweater into an airy culotte and belt it for an accentuated waist. For a necklace that won’t fight with your neckline choose a short layered piece that is framed by your sweater. A pair of high heels will dress the look up while rolling up your sleeves will bring the look back to casual.

Get Cozy in Cold Weather

Protect yourself from the elements in a layered on look that is professional and paired back.

His: For sartorial style that will keep you warm, layer your v neck sweater between a sports coat and button down. Let the framing feature of your v-neck bring attention to a fun pop of plaid or textured knit tie. Pair back your look with a denim jean and put the business back in your step with a brocade shoe.

Her: Are you a cold-blooded creature? Add layers with minimal bulk by wearing a tight fitting turtle neck under a button down and v-neck sweater. To keep this style looking sleek, match your turtleneck to your sweater, and leave the top two buttons undone. Keep the look casual with a pair of dark colored denim. Burgundy looks great with navy or try an olive green with gray. Complete your look with a blazer and slip into a sophisticated loafer.

Layer up and dress yourself down to find the middle ground between business and casual. You’ll take the professional world by storm when you learn to rework your closet with a v neck sweater.
