If you’re like me then getting dressed for work can be just as challenging as getting dressed for fun. Hey, it’s a process. Getting dressed for work in the summer? Now, THAT can be exhausting. There’s such a fine line between looking professional and wearing pieces that will save you from the heat. Who said cut-offs aren’t work appropriate?! (Kidding)
They key to your summer work wardrobe? Colored blazers and layering. Yup, I said layering. Not sure why? Well I’ll tell ya…
Working from home gives me flexibility with my “work” attire, but I do enjoy dressing a bit more sophisticated and professional on the days I have meetings. I’ve also worked in places that had a dress code so I know how frustrating and limiting that can be when trying to get dressed in the morning while still feeling pretty.
The key to tackling a summer work wardrobe is definitely layering. You know that moment when you’re wearing a short sleeve blouse in the office and you’re freezing? Yea, we’ve all been there. Adding a light blazer will allow you to stay warm(er) in the office and all you have to do is take it off when you leave. Plus, it’s light so it won’t feel heavy as your holding it in case you run errands afterwards.
Boyfriend blazers are my latest obsession-and not just for work. They’re perfectly oversized so it gives a more street style vibe keeping the look casual and cool. Throw in a colored boyfriend blazer and you’re all ready for summer! I found this blazer two years ago at Forever 21 and I love pairing it with distressed denim. I went for this white pair for a more polished look and I love the way it came out! It keeps the look very crisp and clean, which is perfect for work and happy hour *wink*
Style Tip: For a more edgier vibe, wear your blazer over your shoulders. It’s a simple way to spice up your blazer without spending a dime!
I hope you’re enjoying this humpday!
