Business casual summer capsule wardrobe 2025

Business casual summer capsule from top left: short sleeve sweater / white twist blouse / wide leg pants / tweed blazer / white skirt / statement earrings / black tee / pink nail polish /

Summer is here, and if you work in a business casual environment, like the ones we have here in Silicon Valley, you might be wondering how to put lighter-weight outfits together.

These tee’s are very affordable and hold their shape. They are easy to wear under a cardigan sweater or blazer. When sitting at your desk, or off to lunch, you can easily leave the cardigan or blazer at your desk and just wear the tee. This is perfect on those ninety degree days we get!

Love a pair of linen pants! These wide leg pants are fashionable and practical. You can wear them almost everyday with a different top. They come in petite, regular and tall sizes. Love that!

Summer sweaters are cool yet put together for the office, same with a good blouse. This one has a fun little twist!

This white skirt may only be good on Friday’s, but it is lined, so it has a more formal look to it than your average casual white skirt. This means you can wear it to the office if your dress code allows. Love!

All about the cardigan sweater

wearing: statement earrings / black tee / cardigan sweater (under $100) / wide leg pants / summer nail polish / east/west bag / black boots (old, similar here) /

I love an office outfit I can wear day into evening. This outfit took me from the office to dinner and then an event with Broadway San Jose. It was the perfect outfit to take me through the day!

This cardigan sweater is fun to wear over a tee for a conservative look, or a tank top, or cropped tank top for a fun evening or weekend look. It is so versatile! Plus, the design and weight offer good quality. I’m on the hunt for a good pair of linen shorts to pair with this cardigan when summer starts to heat up! Love that!

Mocha dress for summer

wearing: statement earrings / chain necklace / mocha dress / summer nail polish / bucket tote / Mary Janes /

Mocha Mousse is the color of 2025, so it’s only natural that I am drawn to this neutral hue. It is so easy to wear and can be styled throughout the year. Mocha really transcends season. Love that!

Speaking of transcending season, and wearing this mocha dress throughout the year, shoes and outerwear help it fit into the season. In the winter, this dress can be paired with knee boots and a coat. During the fall and spring months, this mocha dress can be worn with a light jacket or sweater, as well as a scarf. For the summer, it stands alone. The knit fabric is comfortable, and I am finding I can wear it any weather; at least here in California.

This mocha dress can also be worn casually, or to the office. I love a wardrobe piece I can wear any day of the week, work or fun! Love that!

I also happen to have this dress in black too. It is classic and versatile. Love!

How are you rocking mocha this summer season?

Thanks for stopping by!
