Knit blazers are perfect for both casual or dressy attire.  The knit material loosens up what is normally a formal piece.  If you want to invest in a versatile, fashionable and as well as comfortable blazer – we suggest the Rag & Bone Bromely blazer, in navy, gray and white.  We covet the sharp contrast piping and fitted style that won’t look like you stole your boyfriend’s.  Retails for $415 – $495.

You can get the Mango knit blazer in a similar style for just $80!  Available in navy & gray made of 100% cotton.  From spring to fall, these blazers effortlessly coordinate with jeans, LBDs, and trousers alike.

Look chic at the office when worn with a pencil skirt and mid-heel pumps (50% off!).  Keep it casual with jeans going out.  And these studded pumps (sale!) will provide a nice edge to the outfit.

Check out these knit blazers under $60 with contrasting piping detail in different colors!

We love classics like black pumps or dressy loafers, but the pleasant weather outside has us calling for all things springy.  These airy slingbacks and sandals are perfect for all of your dressy warm-weather office wear needs!  With versatile neutral tones, these fashionable pairs will go with nearly everything in your wardrobe.  Pair with pants or dresses, and step out in chic sophistication.

Just about anything goes when styling a chambray shirt.  For a work-ready look, pair a pleated skirt cinched with a skinny belt then add a touch of sparkle and shine with silver pumps and this pearl multistrand necklace.

Layer the shirt over a tank with buttons open to wear as a light coverup (much lighter than a denim jacket) in the summer!  For the weekends, bring out the khakis and flats.
