I would wear chinos or pencil pants, a dressy tank/shell and a cardigan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703830 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 12:34:32 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2703830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For that less masculine, but definitely casual look the guys pull off I would say a women's cut Polo (slim fit, I guess) and nice chino- not khaki color is the lady equivalent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703810 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 11:52:14 +0000 meredithNYC 2703810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say a casual dress with flats or slim fitting khakis with a cute blouse and cardigan. I don't LOVE wearing khakis because they feel so 90's to me for some reason (I guess probably because I wore them with my school uniform in the 90's), BUT it makes a huge difference if the fit is more modern and stream-lined, rather than the bleated and baggy mess of yesteryear. I would say look at Loft or Boden online for inspiration. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703804 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 11:15:06 +0000 travellingbee 2703804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chinos and a non tee shirt top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703802 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 11:07:40 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2703802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The old navy pixie pant! Bit dressier than jeans, but not dress pants. So many colour options too. </p> <p>For jeana, maybe a black wash? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703768 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 10:09:44 +0000 Anagram 2703768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Twolittlemen: I'm a teacher, so I feel like my whole job is "business casual". We can't wear jeans, but basically anything else goes.</p> <p>I wear a lot of more casual dresses and skirts with tops/cardigan, and I wear a lot of ponte pants. I agree with pps that some cute women's chinos would be nice.</p> <p>Any of this stuff in the pictures below would be business casual if you wear with flats. </p> [attach=2976/17/om3bg9.343x600.business-casual-1.jpg] [attach=2976/17/om3bga.346x600.business-casual-2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703758 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 09:57:52 +0000 Mrs. Blue 2703758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to say something similar to what @lawbee11: posted. Cute, fitted pants and a dressy shirt. It might be slightly dressier than the standard "khaki's and polo" for guys, but it's more fun, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703753 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 09:53:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2703753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Found a few inspiration photos:</p> <p>[attach=1597/17/om3apg.390x600.IMG_9097.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=1597/17/om3aph.398x600.IMG_9096.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=1597/17/om3api.340x510.IMG_9095.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=1597/17/om3aq3.400x600.IMG_9094.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=1597/17/om3aq5.199x600.IMG_9093.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=1597/17/om3aq6.248x600.IMG_9092.JPG] </p> [attach=1597/17/om3aqq.400x600.IMG_9091.JPG] [attach=1597/17/om3aqs.271x600.IMG_9090.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703751 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 09:49:32 +0000 lawbee11 2703751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe something like these? </p> [attach=1395/17/om3aik.409x600.BC_1.jpg] [attach=1395/17/om3ail.400x600.BC_2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703745 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 09:47:46 +0000 psw27 2703745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear a lot of dresses. And cropped pants and nice blouses with cardigans. But I don't do well with business casual so I tend to look a bit more dressy and that's okay with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703742 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 09:45:43 +0000 looch 2703742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Business casual for women is tough...I agree that unless you're doing jeans, dress pants feel too dressed up.</p> <p>When we were business casual (I think we still are, but the trend has gone more formal recently), I wore a lot of solid colored dress pants, like navy, black, gray and brown with a printed tank and a long cardigan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703741 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 09:44:48 +0000 Madison43 2703741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Black skinny pants and just about anything besides a super casual tshirt on top </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703740 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 09:42:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2703740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like the type of jean makes it dressy or not! A dark rinse trouser style is more professional, and pair with a simple blouse and I think it looks way better than the khaki and polos<br /> I also think dresses are a good way to go.<br /> Possibly a relaxed style dress pant with a basic blouse as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703736 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 09:35:41 +0000 avivoca 2703736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would guess ladies chinos, or a chino skirt, or even a nice linen skirt? You could also wear dresses. I feel like women have lots of options to still look dressy but casual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703734 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 09:35:24 +0000 RonjaL7 2703734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Colored or dark jeans and an embellished T-shirt. Or a more plain shirt with a long necklace or some other statement piece (like bracelet if wearing short sleeves). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-female-equivalent-of-khakis-and-a-polo#post-2703732 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 09:33:08 +0000 Twolittlemen 2703732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work in a business casual environment where the men all wear khakis and a polo? What do you think the female equivalent of this is? (Please don't say khakis and a polo. 😜😆) </p> <p>Jeans are allowed so I wear those, but it doesn't feel as dressy as khakis. Or if I wear dress pants I am significantly more dressed up than khakis. What's the female middle line? </p>
