Lace

Lace will always be a classic. Nothing gives a feminine touch as lace patterns and accents. Dress up a simple dress with a lace patterned scarf for the office. To take the outfit from day to night, simply transition the scarf from your neck to your shoulders for a more relaxed, informal look.

This year, the 80s are making a comeback. Many of our go-to style items might surprise you. Let’s take a look at a few clothing items that are always appropriate.

The Blazer

Every closet needs at least one versatile blazer to add endless options for layering unique looks. Next time you are shopping, don’t be afraid to grab more than one. With so many cuts, colors, patters, and looks, your new blazer may be your new favorite.  When the clock strikes five, simply turn up your cuffs, roll your sleeves, pop your collar, or throw it over your shoulder for a chic evening look.

The Black Dress

A simple black dress will give you endless outfits for the office and transition perfectly for an evening out. Available in all kinds of styles and sizes, a black dress gives you the boost of confidence you need to tackle whatever your day holds. You simply can’t go wrong with a black dress!

Everyone knows the “Little Black Dress” is essential for any woman’s evening closet, but what about the office? Whether you choose a simple, long maxi or a sophisticated, tailored dress, you can always add a blazer to add a bit of formality for the office. Simply styling the dress with flats will keep you comfortable all day long before quickly switching to cute heels for a night out.

Tunic

Another hot style trend that hails 80s influence, the tunic is one of our favorite items for Spring/Summer 2017 looks. Known for being especially long, these tops come in every color, pattern, and style, and fit perfectly in any closet. You can’t go wrong with adding several tunics to your wardrobe!

Transitioning from office to evening is simple when tunics are concerned. Simply adding a bright colored or fun, patterned tunic to your slacks or skirt for the office will give your outfit enough drama for after work. You can even take it one step further: many tunics are long enough to be worn on their own as dresses! Simply style with flats or you favorite after work shoe for a cute look or add leggings for a more active evening. You will never run out of options with this versatile item.

Discover Your Own Style

Using these outfit ideas as inspiration, find your own unique style and don’t hesitate to pin your favorite new looks onto your board. This year, let your wardrobe match the styles you see on Pinterest and join the ranks of those who ooze style.
