Shecky’s

Your calendar is packed with summer fun after work, and who has the time and energy to run home and change outfits in between? Whether you’re having cocktails with the girls, hitting the town with your work BFF or dining al fresco with your significant other, we have some suggestions that will take you from the office to a night on the town this summer!

We love the look of the Matte Jersey Marot Dress ($198) from J. Crew. With a universal, flattering silhouette, it’s perfect for a daytime office outfit. Take this look from cubicle to carousing by donning the Fenton/Fallon ($115) for J. Crew cuff. It adds the perfect amount of chic edginess to any basic work dress. We paired the plain frock with J. Crew’s Gladiator-inspired Averhill Suede Sandals ($238) for an extra dash of evening sass.

We love how this next business casual outfit (shown in the picture above) has a little shine, but it’s not too overwhelming for the office. The Banana Republic Chain Trim Cardigan ($79.50) adds just the right amount of sparkle to a basic throw-over sweater. Pair it with Banana Republic’s Bellflower Shell ($69.50), Banana Republic’s Sloan Fit Wide Stripe Pant ($89.50) and Banana Republic’s Metallic Leather Belt ($49.50) for a chic and professional daytime ensemble. You can transform this look for a night on the town without even changing your outfit. Just sling Rebecca Minkoff ’s Heavy Metal True Love Stud Hobo ($495 at ShopBop) to take your business casual look to the nighttime level. And leave that cardi at the office.

Happy summer and happy happy hours!
