As summer winds down, I wanted to share three end-of-summer business casual workwear outfit ideas. Whether you work from home or go into an office, you still want to look and feel your best. When shopping for office clothes I think it’s easiest to treat it as a capsule wardrobe. Look for neutral basics that you can layer to make multiple outfits; think blazers, blouses, sweaters, tees, and jackets. Choose versatile pieces you can style on the weekends or wear out to dinner with friends after work to make the most out of your wardrobe; this is where pieces like work dresses are so great. For example, this gorgeous polished shirtdress can be easily worn to any occasion by simply swapping out the shoes and accessories. And pick pieces you feel comfortable in. There’s nothing worse than having to adjust a dress or a blouse throughout the day or wearing tailored work pants that are not fun to sit in.
How to Style White Pants for Work
Black Crewneck Sweater Vest / White Wide Leg Dress Pants / Black and White Striped Sweater Jacket / Black Leather Tote Bag / Block Heels
These white work pants are great for a business meeting or lunch. Depending on the weather, you could style the dress pants with this black sweater vest, or for colder days, add a layer with a polished black and white striped sweater jacket. To complete the look, wear it with a black leather tote bag and these block heels. They’re a favorite of mine.
How to Style a Work Dress
Striped A-line Shirtdress / Silver Huggie Hoop Earrings / Silver Cubic Zirconia Bangle / Canvas Tote Bag / Black Ballet Flats
You can never go wrong with a shirtdress. It’s a timeless basic that I always go back to during spring, summer, and fall. I’d style it with a canvas tote bag, ballet flats, and simple silver jewelry like huggie hoop earrings and a cubic zirconia bangle for a polished workwear look. On the weekends, wear it with Veja sneakers and a large Naghedi tote bag for an easy outfit.
How to Style a Navy Blazer
Short-Sleeve White Tee / Demi-Boot Jeans / Navy Blazer / Woven Leather Tote Bag / Leather Loafers
A blazer is an easy way to dress up any outfit for work. I love pairing a blazer with a white tee tucked into demi-boot jeans for a business casual outfit. Style this outfit with leather loafers and a tote bag to tie everything together. This is a great outfit for Zoom meetings, as a blazer always looks professional and gives you a little boost of confidence.
