"Business casual." Those are two of the most confusingly vague words ever. They seem to contradict each other, yet they form an extremely important term. In college, you will probably find yourself having to dress in business casual attire at some point.
Whether it is for a sorority meeting, internship, practicum, presentation, student teaching, or etc., you will have to do it sometime.
In a previous article, I recommended some business casual wardrobe staples. However, where can you find these pieces and other business casual attire? Here is a list of twelve stores to satisfy all of your business casual needs:
1. JCrew
Even if you do not consider yourself to be "preppy," JCrew has high-quality, professional clothing that will be perfect for your first day of your internship.
2. Loft
Loft is great for business casual attire. From dressy sweater to dress pants, Loft has you covered! They have an outlet as well!
3. Jcrew Factory
Jcrew Factory is like the outlet of Jcrew. They have similar quality as regular Jcrew, but at a lower price!
4. Ann Taylor
Another store with lots of variety for your business casual looks!
5. Old Navy
If you are tight on cash and need something in a pinch, you can get some great deals at Old Navy on business casual clothing!
6. New York and Company
Similar to Old Navy in terms of affordability, New York and Company can save you when you do not want to blow a ton of money at the mall on a business casual outfit.
7. Kohl's
If you want a lot of selection, a department store like Kohl's will give you lots of options without breaking the bank!
8. Marshall's
It can be hit or miss but you can get some great deals here!
9. TJ Maxx
Similar to Marshall's, it can be hit or miss but worth the trip!
10. Target
Everyone loves Target. Since you probably already go there all the time, check out their clothing section! You can find some great, comfortable pieces for your business casual looks! Be sure to check Cartwheel for coupons too because they do have them for clothing sometimes as well!
11. Francesca's
Francesca's is a great store you may already shop at! Check out their dresses and sale items because you can find some great business casual dresses for those warm days!
12. Kiel James Patrick
KJP has some unique preppy looks you will love (even if you are not that preppy). My personal favorite Oxford shirts come from here because they are the highest quality and have the best fit. Everything is made in America too!
