The symbolic end of summer means it’s time to tuck away the casual cutoffs and twirly sundresses that got us through. Sad, we know—but that doesn’t mean you have to be all business from here on out. Below, four fresh-feeling (and occasionally colorful) styling strategies to breathe life into your 9-to-5 looks.

MARIA MCMANUS BLAZER, goop, $1,090

MARIA MCMANUS SHIRT, goop, $480

Suit Up

Put on a chic power suit or style the separates with other pieces to strike a balance that feels less formal. Here, a pale-blue puff-sleeve top and a gleamy necklace freshen up a pair of cigarette pants.

Alternatively, you could update classic wide-legs with a tonal cardigan (notice how the gold buttons pick up on the elegant timepiece), thick-rimmed glasses, and sleek flats.

VICTORIA BECKHAM SKIRT, goop, $950

OFFICINE GÉNÉRALE SWEATER, goop, $385

Play with Print

A button-up—with its pointed collar, button placket, and neat cuffs—is a corporate classic. So is a pleated skirt. Victoria Beckham brings both to life with this retro-looking geometric print.

Finish the look with luxe earrings, a slouchy suede carryall, and clean white sneakers.

NILI LOTAN SWEATER, goop, $495

VICTORIA BECKHAM JUMPER, goop, $650

Mix in Color

Our fashion team tells us that eye-catching colors—pink and yellow in particular—are going to be big this fall. Ground a punchy sweater with sandy wide-legs, then dab on this (highly blendable, easy-to-use) coral cheek stain for a pretty, natural-looking flush.

LISA YANG DRESS, goop, $620

Can’t commit to brights? Opt for muted shades of jade, burgundy, or glacier blue.

AGOLDE PANTS, goop, $348

Try Texture

Contrasting textures can make any outfit look (and feel) fresh. When the weather permits, team a supple leather skirt with crisp cotton shirting and a cloud-soft cardigan. Tall buttery boots and a matching belt tie in perfectly.

Finishing Touches

A zippered pouch to organize your work tote, a cozy knit to keep at your desk, noise-canceling headphones for heads-down time—these are the nice-to-haves we’re bringing with us.
