Summer wardrobe staples
From simple formulas on how to style business casual outfits to making casual trends like nautical work at the office, business casual is a favourite topic around here! So, of course, as we start to figure out our summer wardrobes, we decided to choose five staple pieces that make up a business casual wardrobe for summer time. After all, one of the many reasons we love summer is that it gives us a bit more freedom with our wardrobe choices — more colours, lighter fabrics, patterns and a lot fewer layers!
A pretty pencil skirt like the memphis skirt by Draper James (this is a new line launched by Reese Witherspoon that we are absolutely head over heels in love with!). We also recommend J.Crew for timeless pencil skirt options year round!
A pair of neutral pointy-toed flats to give your black pumps a day (or two!) off. We love these Manolo Blahniks, or for a more affordable option, try Old Navy!
A colourful cardigan is the perfect solution for air conditioned offices and it looks oh so pretty amongst a sea of black blazers. This J. Brand cardigan is just peachy, while this ModCloth cardigan is 100 percent ladylike.
We can’t say this enough: a silk shell is the holy grail of a work wardrobe. For the ladies who prefer a bit more modern and slightly edgy, this blue pleat shell is practically a work of art!
And of course, a girl must have a go-to summer dress (and we have a whole collection of options for you here!).
