What are the best practices for business development? How do you build a book of business? Are there any especially great business development tips for women? We’ve gotten a few reader questions about this over the years, and readers recently had a threadjack, so we’re going to take a look at it again today.

Here was one reader question from new partner “Reader S”:

I am starting at a new firm as a partner where there is a great deal of emphasis on client development. Its a long story but I do not have much experience developing a book of business. I know you have done posts on networking but I don’t recall seeing anything related specifically to client development. Any tips on what to do differently in terms of networking when you are specifically seeking business and not just changing jobs? How do you “pitch” to a potential client? How do you even get your foot in the door to deliver a “pitch”? Thanks!

Another question from a more recent threadjack:

I’m a newish big-law non-equity partner in a practice where you need to build your own book…any tips on what has worked best for you? I am going to endless mixers and dinners and I’m tired.

Huge congratulations to both of you, that’s such an achievement! You’ve both found something tricky about advancement — what got you to a certain level won’t always be helpful once you’ve passed that level. We’ve talked about this with regards to superstar employees, as well as some of the habits women need to change as they rise through the ranks. (We’ve also talked about how it’s ok to decide you don’t actually like this new job, but that’s a different post.) Readers have had some great advice on how to bring in clients and revenue through the years, so let’s dive in…

First off, unfortunately, the “endless mixers and dinners” is not the way to do it — there is a difference between networking and business development.

N.B. This post was originally written in 2014, but was updated in August 2026 by Kat Griffin with additional advice from readers.

Before You Start: Understand How The Game is Played

How Does Your Firm Give Origination Credit?

One of the smartest things the readers have pointed out: every firm may differ slightly in terms of what “counts” as business development. What counts as origination at your firm? Do you get credit for bringing new work from an existing client? How does cross-selling work? Can origination credit be shared? What happens to your credit if you change firms?

After all, you don’t want to spin your wheels optimizing for the wrong game.

Get Your Name on the List

Readers have mentioned two aspects that are also worth understanding for your field and potential clients. As one reader said, “this is an obvious one, but get your name on lawyer referral lists with as many bar orgs as you can.”

Another reader also suggested that corporations might have interior lists: “Is there an Outside Counsel list limiting who they can use that you might not be on? Do they have strict preferences/policies as to who you use?”

How to Build a Book of Business: Advice for Women Lawyers

Stop Networking and Start Thinking About Business Development

As both readers have discovered, networking is not the same thing as business development — all of those endless dinners and mixers won’t necessarily pay off. One big thing to keep in mind is to go where the clients are, which is not necessarily at lawyer events.

As one commenter noted,

Mixers are (IMO) a lot of lawyers. Figuring out how to do an accredited CLE (if for your area + ethics, that usually gets attention). Package up something and start meeting actual clients. Clients often don’t have a budget, so offer to present to them. But think about your metrics and where clients actually are for the work you can pitch to them (and the best is bringing in work that someone else does, so think about your friends; possibly learn to hunt in packs).

Think about who can hire you — but also about who can introduce you to someone who can.

(Psst: we’ve also talked about where to meet prospective clients when you want somewhere neutral that isn’t your office or theirs… as well as different CRMs and business development trackers.)

But… Start With the Network You Already Have

Readers have suggested networking within the firm and doing work for existing clients — one in-house counsel noted that when the partner who represents her company was too busy to directly handle the work, she’ll loop in other associates and partners, “and then I’ll start going to that person directly if they’re good.”

Another reader suggested knowing where your former associate friends have gone — if they’re in house, she said, “they will grow into decisionmakers, or at least major influencers, faster than you might think.”

Outside of the legal world, readers have suggested to make use of your existing assets. “For example, I know one very successful attorney whose family was Swiss and French and she networked with a lot of cultural institutions from those countries, which in turn resulted in her getting tons of referrals from those nationals.” Another suggestion: join your coop or condo board.

Give Some to Get Some

A number of readers noted that you should never turn down a case without referring them to someone else… the beneficiary of that referral will remember.

A very good rule I’ve heard is never ever turn down a case; if you can’t take it because it’s not what you do or the client can’t pay what you charge, don’t say no; say you will get back to them with someone and refer it out. People will then refer cases back to you – it’s a small world and it’s a great way to build your network.

Become an Expert

One commenter who is an in-house counsel suggested that if she needed an expert in something “new” to her company’s concerns, she would be reviewing whitepapers or looking for CLEs on point.

Another commenter agreed: “Build a subject matter expertise and publish on it. As an in house counsel, if I Google some issue and some BigLaw partner wrote a helpful resource on it, I’d be likely to reach out to them.”

Readers have found success in particular by speaking at conferences —

In my practice area (employer-side employment law, but I focus on smaller businesses and government entities), the thing I do with the biggest return is speak at conferences. Legal updates for tiny local chapters of larger groups, state wide conferences, whatever, I am up for it. And I stay at the conference before and after, and hang out, and put myself out there and make friends with people. For me, I focus on (1) creating a large network of folks who know me and know my name; and (2) being known as an expert in an area so when they need help, whether it’s next week or two years from now, they think of me. I’m have a ton of connections (who I actually know, I connect with basically everyone I meet) and am active on LinkedIn even though I otherwise hate SM because it is basically free advertising. I share basically every speech I give and otherwise share thoughts and blog articles, whatever, to show I am in the know.

Another reader agreed:

Give CLEs and presentations to clients and potential clients. Speak on panels at conferences to be known as an expert in X. I’m way more likely to reach out to someone who I saw speak on X issue that I later see come up in my work than I am to remember what someone I talked to at a mixer actually does in their practice when really what we talked about was vacations and our kids – fun, but ultimately not helpful for their BDV.

Of course, this doesn’t always mean paydirt. In fact, when ATL’s in-house columnist, Mark Hermann, reflected on how much business he’s gotten from various published articles over the years, his guess was… zilch.

Add Value to your Clients and Potential Clients

One reader suggested to “find ways to add value to your clients’ and potential clients’ business and make their lives easier.” She went on to suggest:

Can you do training seminars, forms creation, internal guideline/policy review and drafting that help them manage risk internally? Are there risk points where you could provide value on a fixed fee basis to become embedded in their workflow (think smaller, less desirable tasks they may be handling in house that could benefit from OC assistance, possibly things that can be automated)? Do you see articles/news developments relevant to topics you talked about that might be interesting to them that you can pass along? . . . Understanding and adding to their business goals and being part of that “team” will help volumes. Just asking these types of questions shows you are invested and want to be value accretive to their operations.

Further Reading:

Above the Law‘s Anonymous Partner had a three-part series on building a BigLaw book of business; s/he noted that in order to get other lawyers to refer you on matters — even within your own firm — you have to be likeable.

This may or may not be helpful to Reader S, but this older post from Hiring Partner’s Advice advised BigLaw associates to work with a partner who has a bigger book of business (specifically, a client with a lot of litigation on the horizon) and make your name and quality work known to that client.

Readers, what are your best tips for building a book of business? Any great “gets” that you’d care to share (anonymously, of course!)?

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

This sweater might be a little too twee for some folks, but I’m really loving the built-in bow and gorgeous red color. Actually, let me correct myself. It’s from Boden, so it’s a “jumper.” I would keep this in my closet to lift my mood on a day when I woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

The red color would look lovely with camel, navy, or just about any neutral, but I have a pair of light pink pants that are waiting patiently for this to show up at my door. 

The sweater is $140 at Boden and comes in sizes XS-XL. It also comes in camel, ivory, and black.

Checks are the pattern that, to me, always signals fall has arrived. It’s a pattern that feels incredibly versatile because it shows up in so many different scales. A tiny gingham feels slightly preppy on a collared crop shirt and coordinating shorts, while an exaggerated plaid dress feels like a warm welcome to fall dressing and a return to routines.

Smaller checks act almost like texture, making an outfit feel sharper without taking over. The bolder versions have more of that back-to-fall energy that looks especially good with denim, flats, and a roomy tote. It’s familiar in the best way, but when the colors feel fresh and the proportions are right, it gives early fall dressing a little lift.

Mornings rarely go to plan. Between checking the time, finding matching socks, and squeezing in breakfast, your beauty routine is usually the first thing to get cut short. The good news is that looking put together does not have to take an hour. With a few smart swaps, you can save real time each morning without giving up the results you want.

Start With Skin That Does the Work For You

Multi-purpose products are a genuine time saver. A tinted moisturiser with SPF replaces three steps with one, and a cream blush that doubles as a lip tint means fewer products to dig through in a rushed bag.

Fewer steps also means fewer chances for something to go wrong. A simplified routine is easier to repeat quickly, even on days when you are getting ready in the car or on the train.

Simplify Your Hair Routine

Dry shampoo and a good texture spray can turn yesterday’s hair into today’s look in under two minutes. Pair that with a haircut that falls into place on its own, and you can skip the blow dryer most days of the week.

If your current cut needs constant styling to look intentional, it might be worth a chat with your stylist about something lower maintenance for the season ahead.

Rethink the Small Habits That Eat Up Time

Some of the biggest time savers are not beauty products at all. They are small daily habits that quietly add up.

For anyone who wears contact lenses, the type you choose can make a real difference to your morning. Daily disposables are convenient, but monthly lenses like Biofinity contact lenses are popular for their comfort and consistency, which means less fiddling and fewer irritated eyes before you have even left the house. CooperVision Biofinity lenses are made with a material that retains moisture well, so they tend to feel comfortable even after a long day.

It is also worth knowing that comfort focused lenses are not one size fits all. People with astigmatism often look at biofinity toric contact lenses, which are designed to correct blurred or distorted vision while still offering the same all day comfort. For anyone managing presbyopia, biofinity multifocal contact lenses are built to handle both near and distance vision without needing to switch between different pairs of glasses. Knowing which option suits your eyes means one less decision to make when you are already running late.

Beyond lenses, a stocked “grab and go” bag can save you from doubling back for forgotten items. Keep a spare set of essentials, a hair tie, and a lip balm somewhere easy to reach, whether that is your gym bag, your desk drawer, or your car.

Beauty That Travels Well

If your makeup bag is a mess of half empty products, it might be time for an edit. Choose formulas that hold up when they are tossed into a bag, rather than ones that need a flat surface and good lighting to apply properly.

A simple five minute touch up kit works wonders for the middle of a long day. A pressed powder, a cream blush stick, and a tinted lip balm cover most of what you need without taking up much space.

Small Changes, Real Results

Low maintenance does not mean low effort results. It means being intentional about where your time goes, so the parts of your routine that matter most still get the attention they deserve. Whether it is switching to biofinity multifocal contact lenses, simplifying your skincare, or finally sorting out your bag, small changes add up to mornings that feel far less rushed.

What is the one swap that has saved you the most time in your own routine?

If you’ve been reading a while, you know that for years I was kind of obsessed with purple pumps. We did entire roundups! Hunts! Just on purple heels! Except (as readers noted) they were always kind of wine-colored like this pretty heel, regardless of what I called them.

Then, much to my dismay, it became hard to find both wine-colored pumps and truly purple pumps. But right now there are a number of purplish heels out there… so color me excited.

This pump from Favorite Daughter looks great — I love the deep, winey “Bordeaux” color to the suede. The shoe is $275 at Nordstrom; you can also get it in red suede, black patent, and beige patent.

Fashion in 2026 is less about following one strict aesthetic and more about mixing references, proportions and personalities. For Gen Z women, everyday style can move effortlessly between relaxed denim, ’90s minimalism, Y2K nostalgia, sporty pieces, feminine details and statement accessories.

The biggest Gen Z womens fashion trends 2026 are therefore not defined by a single silhouette. Instead, the year is seeing a more flexible approach to dressing, where comfort and individuality matter just as much as looking current.

Denim is particularly important. Fashion coverage in 2026 has highlighted everything from wide-leg and straight-leg jeans to skinny, bootcut and low-rise silhouettes, showing just how broad the denim conversation has become. (Vogue)

The Biggest Gen Z Fashion Female Trends for 2026

The most interesting Gen Z Fashion Female Trends combine nostalgia with modern styling. Rather than copying an entire decade from head to toe, young women are taking individual elements and making them feel personal.

Here are some of the defining directions to watch.

1. Relaxed and Wide-Leg Jeans

Loose denim remains one of the strongest choices for casual Gen Z wardrobes. Wide-leg, baggy and relaxed jeans offer an easy silhouette that works with everything from fitted tops to oversized shirts.

The appeal is practical as well as aesthetic. A relaxed pair of jeans can work for university, shopping, travel, coffee dates or a casual evening out.

For a balanced outfit, try:

• Wide-leg jeans with a fitted baby tee
• Baggy denim with a cropped cardigan
• Relaxed jeans with a tucked-in button-down shirt
• Light-wash jeans with a leather jacket
• Wide denim with ballet flats or retro sneakers

Vogue’s 2026 street-style coverage also emphasizes the versatility of wide-leg jeans, with styling ranging from casual sneakers and loose shirts to more polished accessories and tailored pieces. (Vogue)

2. Straight-Leg Jeans Are Back in Focus

While oversized denim continues to be popular, straight-leg jeans are proving that classic silhouettes can still feel very current.

The 2026 denim landscape is unusually diverse. Straight-leg and high-waisted cuts have emerged as dependable options alongside much wider and slimmer silhouettes. (British Vogue)

For Gen Z women who want something less oversized, straight-leg jeans provide an easy middle ground.

Pair them with:

• A cropped knit
• Oversized blazer
• Simple tank top
• Ballet flats
• Loafers
• Retro sneakers

The result is polished without looking overly formal.

3. Gen Z Fashion Trends 2026 Women Jeans: Denim Gets More Experimental

One of the most noticeable Gen z fashion trends 2026 women jeans is the sheer variety of shapes and finishes available.

Skinny jeans, baggy jeans, bootcut styles, straight legs, low-rise fits and hybrid designs are all part of the current conversation. Vogue’s 2026 denim coverage specifically notes that there is no single dominant denim silhouette. (Vogue)

That means Gen Z fashion is moving away from the idea that one particular jean is universally “in” or “out.”

Instead, the focus is increasingly on styling.

Try updating basic denim with:

• Turn-up cuffs
• Statement belts
• Cropped jackets
• Feminine blouses
• Ballet flats
• Oversized sunglasses
• Layered jewellery

Even a basic pair of jeans can look completely different depending on the accessories and proportions around it.

4. Y2K Fashion Continues to Influence Gen Z Style

Y2K fashion continues to have a significant influence on Gen Z wardrobes, particularly through denim, fitted tops and playful accessories.

But the 2026 interpretation is more refined than simply recreating an early-2000s outfit.

Instead of wearing every Y2K trend simultaneously, combine one nostalgic item with modern basics.

For example:

Y2K-inspired: Low-rise jeans + fitted tank + small shoulder bag

Modern version: Low-rise jeans + oversized blazer + minimalist jewellery

This approach makes nostalgia feel wearable rather than costume-like.

Bootcut and flared denim are also benefiting from the broader revival of ’90s and early-2000s fashion. (Vogue)

5. Casual Fashion Becomes More Polished

The phrase “casual” no longer necessarily means basic.

One of the most useful gen z fashion trends 2026 women casual is combining relaxed pieces with one structured or sophisticated element.

For example:

Look 1: Baggy jeans + fitted tank + structured handbag

Look 2: Oversized shirt + straight-leg jeans + pointed shoes

Look 3: Relaxed denim + feminine blouse + minimalist jewellery

Look 4: T-shirt + wide-leg jeans + tailored blazer

This high-low balance makes everyday outfits look intentional without sacrificing comfort.

6. ’90s Minimalism Is Having a Major Moment

The ’90s continue to influence fashion in 2026, particularly through clean silhouettes and understated accessories.

Think:

• Straight-leg jeans
• Simple white T-shirts
• Black trousers
• Minimal blazers
• Plain hoops
• Slim sunglasses
• Loafers
• Simple leather bags

Vogue’s 2026 coverage has highlighted renewed interest in ’90s-inspired trousers, cigarette jeans and minimalist styling. (Vogue)

For Gen Z women, this aesthetic offers an alternative to heavily decorated outfits: fewer pieces, better proportions.

7. Feminine Pieces Meet Relaxed Denim

Another important direction is the contrast between feminine tops and relaxed bottoms.

A delicate blouse, lace-trimmed top or romantic shirt can instantly change the mood of baggy or wide-leg jeans.

This works because the outfit creates contrast:

Soft top + oversized denim = balanced silhouette

This styling direction is particularly useful for people who want casual clothes to feel more feminine without wearing a traditionally “dressy” outfit.

Try pairing:

• Lace blouse + loose jeans
• Cropped cardigan + baggy denim
• Romantic top + straight-leg jeans
• Ruffled blouse + relaxed jeans

The combination keeps the outfit comfortable while adding visual interest.

8. Statement Denim and Unexpected Details

Denim is also becoming more experimental.

2026 runway and fashion coverage has featured embellished denim, unusual proportions, tailored details and unconventional denim constructions. (Vogue)

This opens the door to more expressive Gen Z styling.

Instead of buying an entirely unusual outfit, introduce one statement piece:

• Embellished jeans
• Coloured denim
• Cuffed jeans
• Denim skirts
• Denim dresses
• Patchwork details
• Decorative stitching

A statement denim item can become the focal point while the rest of the outfit remains simple.

9. Cuffed and Cropped Jeans

Small styling details are also making a difference in 2026.

Clean, intentional cuffs are emerging as an easy way to update familiar jeans. Fashion coverage has highlighted the return of more polished single-fold cuffs, particularly when styled with loafers, ballet flats and other streamlined footwear. (Who What Wear)

This is an especially useful trend because it does not necessarily require buying new clothes.

Simply experiment with the jeans already in your wardrobe.

10. Accessories Do More of the Styling Work

Accessories are increasingly important in Gen Z outfits because they can transform basic clothing.

A simple outfit of jeans and a T-shirt can become completely different with:

• Oversized sunglasses
• Shoulder bags
• Belts
• Baseball caps
• Hair accessories
• Layered necklaces
• Statement earrings
• Ballet flats
• Retro sneakers

The key is not to add everything at once. Choose one or two accessories that establish the mood of the outfit.

How to Build a Gen Z Casual Wardrobe in 2026

You do not need to completely replace your wardrobe to participate in the latest trends.

Start with versatile foundations:

1. One relaxed pair of jeans – ideal for everyday outfits.
2. One straight-leg pair – useful for polished casual looks.
3. A fitted basic top – balances oversized denim.
4. An oversized shirt or blazer – adds structure.
5. A feminine blouse – creates contrast with casual denim.
6. Versatile sneakers or flats – keeps outfits practical.
7. A statement accessory – gives simple outfits personality.

The goal is to create multiple outfits from a relatively small number of pieces.

How to Wear Gen Z Fashion Trends Without Looking Overdone

Fashion trends work best when they fit your personal style.

Rather than combining five different aesthetics, choose one dominant direction and add one trend-led detail.

For example:

Minimalist: Straight jeans + white shirt + loafers

Y2K: Low-rise jeans + fitted top + shoulder bag

Streetwear: Baggy jeans + oversized sweatshirt + sneakers

Feminine casual: Relaxed denim + romantic blouse + ballet flats

Retro: Bootcut jeans + fitted knit + vintage-inspired accessories

This approach makes trends feel natural and wearable.

What Jeans Should Gen Z Women Wear in 2026?

There is no single correct answer.

The strongest Gen Z womens fashion trends 2026 denim choices range from wide-leg and baggy styles to straight-leg, skinny, bootcut and low-rise silhouettes. Current fashion coverage confirms that denim is moving in multiple directions rather than following one dominant shape. (Vogue)

Choose according to your preferred proportions and lifestyle.

If you want comfort, try wide-leg or baggy jeans.

If you want versatility, choose straight-leg jeans.

If you like nostalgia, experiment with low-rise, bootcut or flared denim.

If you prefer polished outfits, consider darker washes and tailored denim.

Most importantly, the best jeans are the ones you will actually wear repeatedly.

Final words

The defining feature of Gen Z womens fashion trends 2026 is freedom. Instead of one dominant aesthetic controlling the season, young women are mixing relaxed denim, Y2K nostalgia, ’90s minimalism, feminine details, streetwear and polished basics.

Jeans are at the centre of this evolution. Wide-leg and baggy silhouettes remain highly wearable, while straight-leg, skinny, bootcut and low-rise styles are also finding their place in modern wardrobes. (Vogue)

For anyone following the latest Gen Z Fashion Female Trends, the best approach is not to chase every microtrend. Build a wardrobe around pieces you genuinely enjoy, then use current silhouettes, accessories and styling techniques to keep them feeling fresh.

In 2026, the most convincing Gen Z style is ultimately personal: comfortable enough for everyday life, expressive enough to stand out and flexible enough to change with the next trend.
