Remember this dress from my last post? Here are a few ways to style a casual cotton dress – from the casual office to the casual date night – with items from J.Crew’s summer collection.
If you work in an office that is casual, consider the smart casual approach, which will help you maintain the casual feel with a sharper finish
Bring simple, casual neutral pieces together to neutralize and complement the bright coral dress.
Add professional elements like a jacket and closed-toe pump along with trendy elements like a nautical stripe to demonstrate your knowledge of the season’s trends. Layer your style on with a metallic necklace and clutch of choice.
Bring a level of sophistication with clean, classic pieces like a white jacket and streamlined pump. A strappy heel with a little pattern can take this look from day to evening.
Flats and a few easy pieces play off the dress for a casual date night that is incredibly comfortable.
All pictured items are all available at JCrew.com for summer 2011.
