9 Office-Approved Outfit Ideas For Casual Friday
If you’re anything like us, by the time Friday rolls around, your arsenal of outfit ideas is pretty much tapped out for the week. Luckily, the sartorially casual nature of the final day of the work week allows the opportunity to shake things up a bit. So put away the pencil skirts and pumps and try a fresh new look this Friday.
Give your weary feet a rest with chic flats. Pair them with a lightweight dress in a subtle print and polished accessories.
On Emma Stone:
A.L.C. Simona Falling Iris Printed Dress ($525) available in Long-Sleeve; Chloe Lauren Scalloped Ballet Flats ($475) in Taupe; Prada PR61OS Sunglasses ($255) in Silver Brown
Want to look like the coolest girl at the office? Pair a slim pantsuit with sporty trainers. For the most flattering effect, make sure your pants are slightly cropped at the ankle.
On Alexa Chung:
Stella McCartney suit, Balenciaga blouse, New Balance 574 Sneakers ($70) available in Light Grey
Try a pair of flared jeans with platform sandals and a striped shirt for an on-point denim look.
On Rosie Huntington-Whiteley:
Anine Bing Striped Loose Fit Linen T-Shirt ($129); Seafarer Calypso Mid-Rise Bootcut Jeans ($228); Givenchy Medium Antigona Bag ($2,435) available in Blue; Salvatore Ferragamo Mini-Gancini Temple Sunglasses ($246) in Tortoise; Giuseppe Zanotti wedges
If you’re going to wear a pair of slouchy pants, cuff them at the hem and tuck your shirt in. Add a substantial belt for a cool menswear effect, and balance it out with feminine accessories.
On Sienna Miller:
Dolce Gabbana bag
A knife-pleated skirt gets a casual spin when paired with a boxy top. Add statement booties to take the look up a notch.
On Kate Bosworth:
Rodarte Snakeskin Embossed Leather Booties ($874) available in White, Black, Grey; Ray-Ban Original- Small Aviator 55mm Sunglasses ($160) in Brown
Add a fresh, seasonal twist to a blazer and skinny jeans by making the former white and the latter floral print.
On Gisele Bundchen:
Rebecca Minkoff Becky Jacket ($368) in Chalk; Mavi Jeans Serena Ankle Low-Rise Super Skinny Jeans ($118) available in Batik Vintage
A menswear-inspired button-down shirt, tucked into black skinny jeans and paired with edgy accessories, is a no-fail Casual Friday look.
On Lauren Conrad:
J.Crew Boy Shirt ($78) in Stripe Gauze; Christian Louboutin Pigalle Spike Flats ($1,095) in Black Mix; Balenciaga Arena Classic City Bag ($1,835) in Black; Karen Walker Super Duper Strength Sunglasses ($280) in Black
A cool black jumpsuit or overalls is an on-trend choice for most creative offices. Wear it with a neutral-colored top and accessories for the most office-appropriate look.
On Blake Lively:
Rag Bone Leather-Trimmed Criss Cross-Back Overalls ($595) in Black; Givenchy Pandora Small Sandy Bolt-Trim Satchel Bag ($1,995) in Black
If your office is typically on the conservative side, keep your Friday wardrobe ultra-professional with printed slacks and pumps. Color-blocking and bright accessories add interest.
On Jessica Alba:
Etro Shirt; Sandro Paris Printed Pants ($218) in Black; Rupert Sanderson Elba Pumps ($395) available in Nude Patent Leather; Narciso Rodriguez bag
