A cardigan instead of a tailored jacket

The blouse and button cardigan give pale denim a softer frame than a blazer. Ballet flats suit a dry day with a desk, lunch stop and modest amount of walking.

Check it on you

Check cardigan buttons and blouse cuffs together. For changing fit, leave the cardigan open and choose a waistband with the ease you need.

Make it work with what you own

An existing soft jersey layer can replace the cardigan. Use trainers if your day includes more walking.

Before you leave: test reaching, sitting and walking. Follow your own garment care labels. Weather suitability depends on the actual clothes and conditions; this look has no warmth or waterproof rating.
