Get your favorite crop top and skirt combo from your summer wardrobe and pair it with a classic blazer, even if you’re not attending anywhere formal or fancy, it can look great and really add something else to the outfit. Perhaps wear a monochrome piece with a bright red or pink blazer on top to add a pop of color? You don’t have to be too adventurous if it’s not really your style but it’s a great way to mix colors and patterns.

Mix a bold blazer with a printed romper

You can get a printed romper or jumpsuit of some sort (make sure it fits your dress code if this is one!) then pair it with a bold, brightly colored blazer. It doesn’t matter what fabric, but velvet is a personal favorite. Add your favorite heels and maybe even a hat if you like to look slightly more edgy, and you’re ready to hit that formal, hard!

We recommend neutral colors like grays, blacks, and whites for the office but if you’re going on date you could maybe suit it up with other adventurous colors! Blazers with collars look great for this look, but if your wardrobe is lacking a collared blazer then you could go for a statement necklace to make it look extra chic and beautiful.
