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.

Here at Downtown Magazine we love fashion, and we strongly believe the best way to spice up an outfit is through accessories.
Accessories can be sunglasses, handbags, jewelry, you name it. There are so many brands who have a variety of fabulous accessories. It depends on your particular outfit, but there are classic ways to accessorize an outfit the best way. The key is to not overdo it, but to find the perfect in between by balancing how you choose to accessorize.
Another thing about accessorizing is that trying new things and stepping out of your comfort zone is a must. Along with apparel, accessories have trends as well. For example, a trend right now is tassel drop earrings.
Downtown put together a guide of our top accessories for the rest of the summer season. Here are our picks.

If you live in New York, you are probably torn between two feelings: Should we celebrate the end of the summer season, or sit and cry? If you are leaning towards the “sit and cry” option, it is probably because you have not yet seen these must-have accessories for this winter. It seems that not only will we be trying to warm up, but our wallets will be heating up as well.
Starting with the all-day bag, Balenciaga is the perfect shape. The Padlock in Sheep Fur is functional and will go with you everywhere. Are you going to work and then straight to dinner at The Stanton Social with some friends? It is the perfect model for you!
Are you fashion inclined but still don’t want to give up on your backpack? Certainly you will love the Brunello Cucinelli Mink Fur backpack to go straight from The New School to have some drinks at Spice Market. Use your Alexander McQueen Clutch to end your night at The Boom Boom Room at The Standard Hotel with an amazing view.
Here are some of DOWNTOWN’s favorite choices for you to rock this winter!
