Of Course, We Made a Summer Friday Capsule Wardrobe
Those of us lucky enough to work in a 9-to-5 environment with Summer Fridays can attest to their allure. I mean, there's no feeling quite like powering down your laptop and heading out to a happy hour at an unheard-of time in the afternoon. With all that freedom, though, comes a certain wardrobe challenge. What exactly can you wear to the office in the morning that will also transition well into the long weekend?
It's not as hard as it seems, actually. The key to Summer Friday dressing is all about picking out the versatile items in your closet that can work overtime when you're certainly not. Ahead, we're breaking down exactly which pieces to choose, with a little help from our Who What Wear collection at Target. From the statement top you'll wear to dress up jeans (and everything else) to the midi dress that's somehow the perfect fit for any event on your calendar, shop our capsule wardrobe for Summer Fridays, and then sit back, relax, and soak in those long summer evenings in style.
