Is this outfit okay for business casual day?!

I love the cut on the OP's white pants but agree with the challenges that white would present. You don't need that stress!! On the other hand, even though black slacks are almost a uniform for women's business casual these days, I find it hard to coordinate them with summery tops. The black just seems to overpower the lighter colored top. The other day (at the OPA convention) I think I hit just the right balance: light gray sailor-style slacks, a yellow top, and a navy blazer with 3/4 sleeves. I got tons of compliments and felt very pulled together all day. So my advice is to explore neutral colored pants that are neither white nor black and see what you can pull together.

About the jacket pictured.... Am I the only one who thinks that looks like a warm-up jacket? Maybe it's the zippers and it looks like french terry or something similar.

I think the style is supposed to be inspired by motorcycle jackets. I'm not a fan, but that's just because my style is very feminine. I hate the statement zippers trend as well. So for me, this jacket is definitely a no go, haha. I do think french terry track jackets can be cute though. Obviously not for rush, though.
