Office style can be tricky to master—especially during the summer months.
Whether you’re crowding into stuffy public transportation or dealing with air conditioners on full blast at the office (or both), figuring out the right outfit is never easy. And if you do opt for summery, fashion-forward styles, are they actually appropriate to wear at work?
Whether you’re crowding into stuffy public transportation or dealing with air conditioners on full blast at the office (or both), figuring out the right outfit is never easy. And if you do opt for summery, fashion-forward styles, are they actually appropriate to wear at work?
Luckily, this summer season boasts is a trend which is made for the workplace—power dressing.
If you've followed the ebb and flow of trends, even slightly, you've probably noticed the influx of women in suits. Once considered the anti-fashion statement, suit-inspired dressing has been getting more airtime than normal. Today's 'it girls' have co-opted the trend and turned it into somewhat of a wardrobe staple (just look to Bella Hadid at this year’s CFDA awards if you need proof).
This look is all about mixing and matching separates and harnessing your inner girl boss. Whether you choose a tailored shorts and jacket combo, a full-blown pantsuit, or an oversized blazer that doubles as a dress, power dressing is poised to be the trend we just can't quit. Because when getting dressed for work looks this cool, who would want to?
