5 Summer Office Outfits

When the weather has warmed up a bit, it's inevitable that wardrobe choices will need to change, especially if you have to go to work, keep cool and look smart all at once. All this is possible even if you have to dress formally to your place of work. Below I've chosen 5 office-appropriate looks that are sure to get you through the warm weather.

One


Flowy silhouettes are your best bet if you are looking for styles that will keep you cool and smart. A pleated knee-length skirt and soft, loose-fitting blouse like the one above will work great for the warmer weather. Add a belt at the smallest part of your waist to accentuate your waistline.

Two



This is the best time of year to break out your cute tops and dresses. And if that isn't possible, invest in some statement belts with interesting details like the bow above. This is sure to add some personality and interest to basics like pants and a top. A loose blouse when cinched with a belt will have a peplum effect, which is a bonus for a working fashionista.

Three

Shirt-dresses are great for the warmer weather. And the plus side is that they come in all sorts of colours, patterns and styles. Accessorize it with a belt, statement necklace and some formal shoes and you are good to go.

Four

Since you will hardly need a cover up, in coat or sweater form, now is the best time to show off those unique details on your dresses, for instance, exposed zips, lace detailing, cut-outs, prints etc.

Five

All white is so warm-weather appropriate. If you have an all-white suit, now is the perfect time to bring it out of the wardrobe. Otherwise, you can pair your white pants, be they skinny or wide-leg, with a white shirt or white blazer and a camisole of your choice.

Which of these looks will you be trying in these hot months? Do share in the comments below.

My Style: Mad About Denim

 I feel like I have put up soo many denim-related outfits of late but that's because I live in jeans. I can't help it. Let's talk about these particular jeans. They are high-waisted and have a zip that runs half-way up the calf and the fact that they stretch a little really adds to their charm. I paired them with a blue multi-layered top which I found to be so cute and feminine and topped it all off with my striped blue blazer. I love the cropped style and fit of this blazer. It instantly smartens up any outfit that I pair it with. For shoes, I opted for my grey sneakers which I first appeared on the blog here . Pops of red, in the form of lipstick and a necklace, added some more colour and brightness to the outfit.   Outfit Details: Jeans: Borrowed from my sis (Thrifted, Gikomba Market) Top and Blazer: Thrifted, Gikomba Market Shoes: Bus Station, Nairobi Earrings: Gift Necklace: Thrift Away (Instagram) Thank you for stopping by. xo

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Audrey. Welcome to Inches To Style☺ How it started I fell in love with fashion at an early age. In fact, I wanted to be a model and when I realised that I wouldn’t make the cut because of my height, I decided that I would become a fashion designer. I’d been making clothes for my dolls for years so I knew that was a career path I would love to pursue.  I didn’t study fashion nor did I become a fashion designer but my love for clothes and putting outfits together stuck with me.  On September 12, 2011 I wrote my first blog post, after I discovered the world of fashion blogs and got hooked. I thought to myself, “I can do this! I like writing and I like fashion, so why not?” And so Inches To Style was born. What to expect from the blog At first, I wanted this blog to be a source of inspiration for anyone looking to up their style game. As time progressed and my personal style and lifestyle has evolved, I found the name of my blog quite fitting as I’m moving inches (closer) ...

HOW TO: Wear A Pencil Skirt | With a T-Shirt and Statement Necklace

Hello lovelies! My quest to learn how to style a pencil skirt continues. I was selling this skirt ( on Botique i2s ) some time ago but I didn't get someone to buy it. So I added it to my arsenal. I have worn it twice since. I previously paired it with a white button down shirt. For last Sunday's Church outfit, I wore it with a chocolate brown t-shirt and added a statement necklace to dress up the outfit a little. My tan brown wedges have finally made a reappearance on the blog. A lime green and brown turban completed the outfit. Outfit Details: Skirt: Botique i2s T-Shirt: India Wedges: Bus Station Necklace: bought from a friend Head-wrap: India  I must say that I prefer this combination of colours more than with the white shirt. What do you think of it? How would you have worn this skirt?   Have you checked out my online store yet?
