a casual work wardrobe

Alex: I work in a very casual environment. Mostly jeans and t-shirts. I don’t want to overdress to work but I certainly want to look more put together. What do you suggest?

Sarah, Kiskadee: The devil is in the details! I live in jeans and find that the accessories make the outfit. It’s what you layer on top of that t-shirt and jeans duo that really ties it all together, giving a professional finished look. My personal favorite tricks are adding a chunky statement necklace and either a cute bootie with some cuffed jeans, or straight leg jeans with a loafer. Layering a blazer, especially one made of less formal fabrics, gives a nice polished look. A long yummy sweater also works if you like to cover your backside in skinny jeans or don’t like the idea of a blazer. Most importantly though, make sure you have a couple great pairs of jeans: our dark wash Paige jeans are comfortable, flattering, and come in many styles. And always ensure the fit is right!

  1. do paige jeans come in larger sizes? I wear a 12 jean in other brands. Big hips 41 inches ad smaller waist 31inches.

    I concur with the comment about larger sizes. I love to shop at the boutiques on Alexandria Stylebook, but I am a 12-14 (size of the average American female, BTW) and would spend a lot more time and money with these stores if you sold products in the full of range regular women’s sizes, typically,0-12/14. If you sell it, we will come! <3
