How to Style Your Dressy Casual Jackets for Weekend Play or Casual Work Environment

Jackets are my thing. Whether it’s for work or play.

You may be more of a sweater girl. Either way, they are both great layering pieces and add an extra layer of style to any outfit.

As a Seattleite, I feel there is always a need for a tad of warmth in both the summer and fall. (ok, yes I’m always cold)

Today, I’m sharing 3 dressy casual jacket options that you can wear in a casual work environment or weekend play, elevating your simple casual look to a put-together and polished one.

I talk about lifestyle and having a wardrobe that supports you.

So, what does that mean really?

Being able to go to your closet, and instantly know you have the perfect jacket for the event or occasion you’re attending.

And of course, with some style.

#1 The Most Versatile Jacket

Why? Because I can wear this black and white gingham jacket with three levels of dress.
It is a jean denim fabric that is relaxed yet elevated, never feeling underdressed or overdressed
Whether I wear it with my pearl earrings or white sneakers, it just works beautifully for my elegant casual lifestyle

#2 The White Track Jacket

One of the trends for spring and summer 2022 is the “great white out”. Lots of white, whether that is shoes, dresses, and eyelet blouses.

The beauty of white, it’s crisp, clean, and organized. (aka; the personality of white)
It is a neutral that goes with just about EVERYTHING.
Not just for working out, in fact, this jacket never makes it to the gym. Have fun with the versatility and choose your right color.

#3 The Running Jacket That is NOT Just for Running

There are times when you need a casual jacket to throw on with your cute joggers, jeans, or skort. This is that jacket. (ok, yes you can definitely wear this jacket for running and you will look sooo good!)

Fall in love with the color and feel of the fabric
A hood, brings more casual to the jacket
Quality, brings more elegance to your style

As you are shopping and creating your dressy casual wardrobe, think about your lifestyle.

What are the various events in your life that you never have the right jacket?
What do you love on other women or see online, and wonder if you could pull it off?
Begin making a list of your needs and missing links.
Shop with more intention and make new decisions.
