Dressing up without dressing like a secretary from the 90’s is easier than it seems. You really don’t need the standard pantsuit in order to look professional. Sometimes the best looking office outfits are the ones that aren’t even composed of anything related to a suit.
One of my favourite capsule pieces for any young professionals’ wardobe is a blazer vest. From winter to summer, this staple piece works fantastically at elevating any casual outfit to professional. It has the sophisticatedness of a blazer without the stuffiness of one. The simple act of omitting the sleeves for some strange reason instantly makes for the perfect office layering piece without appearing overly uptight.
This double-breasted vest from Reitmans has been my instant go-to for any look that needs that instantaneous glam feature without throwing on a dress shirt and a blazer.
