Seasonably Light

Dressing for the office always looks a little more casual in the summer months. With people OOO heading on trips for the season, things tend to relax a bit. At one of my first jobs the summer months meant I was not required to wear a tie (fully cinched up September through May)– so things have changed quite a bit for me as I typically now decide which pair of sneakers to go with. But just because I now have a more non traditional work environment or dress code, doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a good office look – especially in a summer polo and trousers kind of way. That is actually what I like shopping and partnering with Express. They have a good balance of casual wear up to suiting that can get you through just about any situation.

All of that to say, we have to mention the real star of the show here — these two tone loafers. These leather loafers are a classic call back with modern updates. They fit great, are super comfortable, and are the perfect highlight on a more simple outfit — going monochrome lets these bad boys shine. I know they are also available in black and white for a true classic look, but I loved the warmth of this tan and know that these will be a go-to option throughout the season.
