1. The Odd Jacket
The term odd jacket isn’t used much anymore, but it means a jacket that wasn’t made with a matching pair of pants. A navy blazer would be a wiser choice than ever. You can pull this look off in two ways: With dress pants or with chinos. The dress pants will give you a dressier look whereas the chinos are a tad more casual. These looks will probably be fine if your office has this standard of business-casual
2. The Suit Sans Tie
The first way to dress business-casual is to simply wear your suit without the tie. Besides, make sure to wear a nice watch that’s not too blingy. A leather strap with a subtle silver or gold face is fine. Avoid silver or gold straps.
And consider sprucing the outfit up a bit with a pocket square. You’re going without a tie, which frees up the neck but also diminishes the visual interest some. Adding a pocket square will fix that. This is just one step down from business-formal and still looks the most professional. This outfit is actually quite safe when it comes to dressing business casual.
3. The Shirt & Slacks
This is the most casual of the business-casual looks. Do not use coats and tie. Like with the previous look, go with dress pants rather than chinos to avoid venturing too far into casual territory.
However, unlike the previous look, don’t try to elevate this by adding a tie. Wearing a tie without a jacket makes you look boyish.
So either wear a jacket and tie or wear neither. You can take the jacket off as you sit down to work, or even carry it on your arm as you move from your office to a client’s.

4. The Dressed-Up Knit
The dressed-up knit outfit has you wearing a sweater or a cardigan instead of a jacket.
This look leans far more towards casual than the previous two, so I’d recommend pairing the knitwear with dress pants, rather than chinos. The latter works too, but dress pants will slide the look back towards business a bit. And pairing a tie with your knitwear will have the same effect.
