With the feel of a jacket, and soft finishes of a sweater, this modern fitting Lafayette 148 New York is a fantastic way to do a professional warm weather look for the office. Click through the ‘shop it’ to see the back view of this jacket – it has a soft gather using a black silk tie that cinches the knit fabric, giving just the right amount of shape to the easy, boxy silhouette. Wear it over a simple black sheath dress, or with a pretty blouse and skirt or trousers. It’s so soft and comfortable, you will happily head straight out to dinner after work in this one.

Sonia by Sonia Rykiel - Silk Detailed Pullover
X
This is not just any simple grey crewneck sweater. Take a closer look at the picture (you can zoom in through the ‘shop it’ button) and you’ll see it is trimmed with just a hint of pink and lavender silk at the hem. We absolutely adore its subtle use of color to bring this classic sweater up-to-date in the best possible way. This contemporary line is all about timeless style with just a little quirk, and that’s exactly what this piece is. The trim – but not tight – fitting sweater looks great with any bottom, whether it’s wide and flowy or sleek and straight. Don’t worry about trying to match the colors – crisp navy or white looks sharp and pops the trim color.

Ted Baker - Dumia Floral Print Sweater
X
Bold florals are important this spring, and Ted Baker’s contemporary version on a black ground is plucked from the prettiest garden. Using whites, browns, and beautiful pop colors, this cotton sweater is a statement on its own with any neutral pant or skirt, including black, white or tan. This pattern is strong enough that it can also be worn under a blazer. It’s so beautiful that there is even a luxe black cardigan using this floral pattern on the back.

Vince - Shawl Collar Cardigan With Wool Blend Front
X
With all things white being must-haves for this upcoming season, Vince created a wonderful transitional piece in this ivory menswear inspired sweater jacket. It is so sophisticated when paired with other shades of white, from a stark true white to a beige or tan. Wear it as you would any blazer for the office, and as the weather gets warmer, you’ll be able to wear it on its own as a light jacket. It also comes in Vince’s beautiful deep navy that looks great with dark denim. You won’t go wrong with either color. As with many Vince styles, it does have an easy, relaxed fit, so size down if you are between sizes.

Peserico - Embellished-Closure Cardigan
X
If you don’t know Peserico, they make luxury knits in an easy, modern fit, 2-16. The Italian craftsmanship is superb and they only use the highest quality materials, so you are getting what you are paying for. We featured a winter version of this sweater, and were delighted to see it remade for spring in this beautiful dusty teal Italian cotton with short sleeves. The pretty hook-and-eye closure has an embellishment of subtle beads – no detail goes unnoticed and it never goes out of style. It’s one of those timeless pieces that you can wear with any slim or wider leg trousers. To further play up the classic style, pair it with its coordinating shell – you can purchase it through the ‘shop it’ button as well. It also comes in a neutral taupe beige done in a linen/cotton giving it a different hand – and a reason to justify both. Both work for the office and with cotton pants or jeans for the weekend.

J. Crew - Jackie Cardigan Sweater
X
Tried and true, and always a favorite, this J. Crew cardigan has been a staple in their line for a reason. Walk through any office, including your own, and you’re likely to find at least one of these in action. The cotton has great stretch to it, and it is just the perfect shape to add to any outfit. It’s short enough to wear with a dress, yet looks great with trousers and even jeans – there’s nothing more versatile than that. Besides the neutrals – black, navy, white – there are beautiful fresh colors like soft blushy pinks, and various shades of blues. From XXXS (most of us can skip this one) to XXL, J. Crew outdid themselves on the fit of this one.

Marc by Marc Jacobs - Blurred Plaid Print Cardigan
X
A cross between an abstract plaid and a blurry gingham, this cotton Marc by Marc Jacobs cardigan comes in soft pretty pink, too (you can see it through the ‘shop it’ button, too) that is beautiful with white and tan, but we’re highlighting the black and white combination. As we talked about last week, black and white is a very on trend color combination, and obviously one that is never going to appear dated. Besides the raw seams and modern fit (this runs a bit bigger than some other pieces in the contemporary line), we love how easily this can tie back to black, but works just as well with color. A pastel sheath dress, a cheery colored pencil skirt, even a bold colored pump will all be simply stylish and work-ready with this cardigan.

Equipment - Shane Striped Cotton/Cashmere Sweater
X
Equipment does timeless and ageless style like no other. They specialize in silk shirts and a few classic sweater silhouettes. And they do them impeccably. The sharp navy and white combination has the perfect pop of color in its coral neckline. The modern fit is easy, but still tailored enough to look great with a navy pencil skirt or skinny cropped pants to the ankle, with just a portion of the front of the sweater tucked in. This cotton fabric has just a touch of cashmere – not enough to give it any real weight, just enough to make it one of the softest and durable sweaters around.

Vince - Lightweight Slub-Knit Loose Top
X
Leave it to Vince to create a take on sheer that will actually work in the office. The slub knit material and touch of cashmere give it a really luxe finish that is sophisticated over a white tank top and a smart pair of fluid white trousers. It’s an easy and relaxed fit, in such a fresh color that you’ll still look great at the end of a long day.

Minnie Rose - Swing Cashmere Cardigan
X
Minnie Rose specializes in timeless sweaters with an updated twist….and that’s exactly what makes this a-line cardigan a top pick. It’s made of absolutely gorgeous white cashmere that is light and airy. Don’t be afraid of summer weight cashmere. When it’s done as well as this one, it doesn’t feel at all bulky – quite the opposite. It looks rich and sophisticated. The silhouette has a swingy shape that is lovely buttoned up over skinny pants and a simple shell.

Theory - Rymalia S Dress
X
Layering can look so, so good…when it’s done as well as this faux layered dress from Theory, known for their contemporary work pieces. Shirtdresses are certainly on trend, and always a great work option if you don’t wear a suit at the office. Adding a striped crewneck sweater over it gives it a little more weight and substance that adds another level of professionalism. If you are tall, you may be more comfortable wearing this as a tunic with a pair of skinny navy pants or even dark denim. Add a pair of nude pumps and your outfit is complete.
