Summer Outfit Ideas For Work #3: Big Shirts and Collars

The humble button down is back on trend. I’m sure you’re asking ‘Was it ever out of office style?!’ At least now you will feel confident you’re super trendy when wearing yours in the office this summer.

The more loose it is, the trendier. And the comfier too. In fact, you can just borrow one from your partner’s wardrobe for the best style. Layer it on a polo neck as seen in The Row show. Perfect minimalist look for the transition to warm weather months. Or style it with a tie for a cool tomboy look. Casual Fridays perfection.

Tip: Steal the tie from your partner/friend’s closet too! I love doing this so much that I wrote a whole blog post about women’s office outfits with men’s clothes.

If it’s elegance you’re after you can opt for a shirt dress paired with a statement necklace, as seen in the Valentino show. Or a shirt dress with the oh so trendy puff sleeves which speak for themselves. As seen in Nina Ricci.

Not into puff sleeves? Go for a statement collar instead. The bigger, the better. As seen in Fendi, Victoria Beckham and more.
