What is Business Casual Attire? How Resort Pieces Can Go from Desk to Dinner

Our resort pieces are crafted for easy transitions, striking the balance between sophisticated and relaxed — so you stay comfortable, elevated, and ready for wherever the day or night takes you. After all, isn’t that the point?

Get Resort Ready

What is business casual attire?

Business casual attire remains the quiet rule of the modern office — polished enough to look professional, relaxed enough to feel like you and, of course, effortless. Gone are the days when business casual meant just blazers and pencil skirts. Now, with all the options out there, you can look polished and put together without even trying — as if you woke up with a full eight hours of sleep. It all comes down to what you wear and how you style it.

What to Wear to the Office: Resort Wear Edition

This topic is particularly relevant for those with full time in-office and hybrid schedules. These lifestyles demand clothes that are as versatile as your workplace common areas. And we say resort wear is a natural fit.


Picture a lightweight knit dress layered under an oversized blazer — polished enough for the office, yet effortless for after-hours plans. Wide-leg trousers paired with a tucked-in button-down blouse feel sharp for a client lunch but can be softened with sandals for the commute home. A tailored short jacket with matching pants could also work as a sleek suit during the day, then transform into an evening look on its own. 


These combinations prove resort wear can truly be effortless, carrying you from boardroom to coffee run to dinner without missing a beat.

How to Style Resort Wear for The Office & Beyond

So, the clock’s about to strike five, and your to-do list is nearly wrapped. Now it’s time to refresh your look. Here are some noteworthy pieces to incorporate into your business casual wardrobe. 

Mesh Resort Wear From ViX Paula Hermanny 

Our mesh pieces, ranging from tops to bottoms, make it easy — travel-friendly, and yes, even workplace-friendly. They’re lightweight, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant, and they can slip into your tote for a seamless desk-to-dinner change. Caring for them is just as effortless: rinse in cold water with mild soap, hang to dry, and they’re ready to wear again.

Elevated Knitwear From ViX Paula Hermanny 

Our knits are equally versatile — soft yet polished, wrinkle-resistant, and perfect for layering. Most corporate girlies have that one reliable go-to sweater, but with these pieces, you don’t have to sacrifice style. Layer one over a tank during the workday, then add statement accessories to carry it seamlessly to after-hours.

The beauty of resort wear in business casual dressing lies in its ease: airy fabrics, polished silhouettes, and thoughtful details that elevate without trying too hard.
