Pretty buttons, boring but essential layers, dressy polos, t-shirts for blazers, jackets that are NOT blazers and moreeeeeee!

When I asked what you wanted to hear about for workwear month, it always came back to the elusive work top. So today, lots of options that (hopefully) make getting dressed elegantly a three second process.

At first glance, you might think…none of these are grabbing me. But let me start this week’s letter by telling you: THAT IS THE POINT. The art of the subtle, elegant, top that makes you look like a million bucks and allows everyone in the room to listen to you without thinking about said top, is the top that wins in today’s letter.

There are a few moments of print and color but for the most part, everything today was chosen for its sense of ease and femininity without going too far in any one direction - meaning nothing too girly, too relaxed or too TOO for a traditional office environment. I looked for fabrics that translate quality - a slight texture, or a silk that won’t read as flimsy (in a bad way). Or a cotton so thick it crunches when you move and refuses to stay tucked, I’m squirming just thinking about it!

We’ll get into it below. But I hope this guide both opens your eyes to new office layering ideas AND helps you breath a sigh of relief…you don’t actually have to overthink it. A great many tops and styling ideas below. The grand finale of workwear month!!
