It’s hot and sticky outside, cold and sometimes downright breezy from the air conditioning inside the office. So, what’s a gal to wear? Ah, summertime. Not only is it hard to get a super professional look together for those important meetings and presentations on warm, humid days, but it can also be equally challenging to feel confident that your Casual Friday look isn’t too casual. Classic silhouettes - like a blazer, button down, or shirtdress – in lighter weight fabrics are always appropriate choices. Fabric technology has made seasonless wools lightweight and comfortable. And don’t shy away from work-right silhouettes made of linen. While it does wrinkle easier than other materials, high quality linens get soft creases that aren’t sloppy looking. You don’t want to have those seriously deep wrinkles all over your shirt or pants, but a slightly tumbled and worn look gives those structured business styles a summertime feel. Softer colors are also easy ways to update your go-to looks, so switch out that navy and black for ivory, white, or khaki. Replace a solid blouse with an airy pattern. And when Friday rolls around, flowy pants, an easy cotton dress, or crisp white jeans will give you stylish comfort that are endlessly more professional than ripped jeans and tank tops – save those for the weekends.
So, this week, we’ve got 3 outfits to cover them both, plus a look that will have you lookin’ good any day of the week. Shop them in this week’s Fashion Finds,
