Offices are always cold.
Even the most perfect, imaginary ones. So what do you wear on top of your
dress, say?
You could go with a
blazer. But a structured blazer and a dress can read too harsh and blunt, even
in the most fashionista environment.
You could go with a cardigan. But cardigans do have that unfortunate reputation for schoolmarmishness and a stolid, wooly, professorial air (which, surely, explains why I adore cardigans of all shapes, colors, and cuts).
The solution?
Unstructured jackets, without as much definition and cut from a slouchier
fabric.
The perfect place to
find them is one of my favorite stores in North America – Antrhropologie. While
some of their wares can be a little hippy or doily or precious or all of the
above, somehow they always carry the best unstructured jackets.
On the less casual side
you have this, perfect with its rounded shoulder and silky fabric:
Or this, with its gorgeous detail in the back:
This isn’t too shabby
either, if a little predictable:
More casual? How about
this?
Or this?
Sure, stores other than
Anthro carry similar things as well. My favorite is probably this, from Shopbop (total lust – it is striped after all!):
