Summer Blues: An Uplifting Work Wardrobe Staple

Blue is as bold or toned down as you want it to be, making it a great color trend for work. Sure, we often think of a classic navy blue suit when we are talking about blue for the office, but there’s so much more! Don’t get us wrong, we love a good navy suit, but we also love a beautiful sky blue blouse, a feminine pale blue pencil skirt, a tweed bold blue blazer…
Check back tomorrow for our beautiful after 5 finds, and Thursday for our favorite blue casual pieces. Whatever the occasion, we’ve got you covered.

As we mentioned, blue takes on many shades this season, and we absolutely love how soft the blue is in the ground of this Elie Tahari chiffon blouse. The muted pastel abstract print takes our breath away – it’s just gorgeous. This blouse is timeless. You’ll wear it with white, navy, or camel trousers or a pencil skirt. Throw on a jacket or wear it on it’s own. You can easily go straight to dinner in this top. We suggest pairing it with a camisole, like this one with a lower neck line, so it won’t be visible when you have a couple of top buttons open.

These lightweight chambray trousers are great for a summer day at the office. Why? They are a dressed up way to bring a little denim into your work wardrobe without wearing jeans, which can look casual. We are not saying they are dressy enough for a conservative work place, but with the trouser styling of the pockets and overall body, they will easily pair with a blouse and/or blazer and a pair of heels for a contemporary look. If you own any AG Jeans product, note that these do run a bit looser, so you should consider sizing down.

How beautiful is the structural draping detail on this sophisticated modern skirt from BCBGMAXAZRIA? While you may think more fabric around your hip/belly area will draw unwanted attention, this does the exact opposite – it camouflages. Pair it with a white sleeveless blouse, short sleeve sweater, or a pretty floral blouse. Do make sure you tuck in your top, or wear something that just skims the top of the skirt. Did we mention it even has a pocket?

This rich shade of blue in a simple sheath silhouette is perfect for those hot summer days. The pockets are on the seams, keeping the lines clean for an easy, mod look. You can wear this dress into the cooler months with tights, boots, and a little black jacket. For now, it’s perfect as is – add a scarf for the air-conditioned office. We love this one in the ballet color to wear with this dress, but of course the blue is perfect for our topic today.

Ah, the perfect blue linen shirt. Elizabeth and James does high quality, with an easier modern fit, and interesting finishes (check out the simple cross stitch on the back). This shirt will go with everything – any color pants, a pencil skirt, white or colored denim - and you’ll wear it for years.

Printed pants are prominent this season, as they often are in the warmer months. This one, grounded in navy, is subtle in its small print and pale pinstriping, which makes it universally flattering for all heights and sizes. We mean it. Don’t be shy with this print. It will only draw attention in the best way. It has a side zip and a 9.25” rise, so it will have a smooth line that will not sit too low on the waist. Pair it with a crisp white shirt like this feminine version to complete the look.

This tweed is full of all the blues we love for summer. Grounded with navy trim and mixed with whites, you get a lot of options on what to wear with it. We would suggest pairing a navy or cream pencil skirt, and of course seasonless wool trousers would be a great office option, too. Tweeds are timeless, and this modern jacket is no exception – you will wear this one for seasons to come.

A classic pump in timeless navy croc-print leather from Kate Spade. This style, called the Licorice, is a staple in her line because it is so versatile – and comfortable for a 3” inch heel. We wear these heels with everything from trousers or a skirt to jeans. You will be able to wear them year round, and don’t feel like you need to wear them just with navy. Of course, you can (tip: the navy’s do not need to match exactly) do that, but we equally love these shoes with white, camels, blush, all black, and even pops of color like burnt orange or yellow.

Clare V. makes durable, yet beautiful, totes that fit everything from your laptop and some folders to a couple of pouches to carry your charges and cosmetics. We love the black stripe detailing, tying this navy bag back to black seamlessly. It has a removable shoulder strap for function, and a single magnetic closure, so it easy to reach in to when it is on the seat next to you or at your feet in a meeting.
