So I’ve recently started a new job — it’s at a laid-back software company with a start-up feel. Jeans and flats in the office are fine, but I’m curious as to what you would suggest for tops! Where’s a good starting point for that very casual, yet stylish, but not-too-stuffy look?

Here are a few ideas for you!

From left to right:

I like this J.Crew tee ($45) because it’s casual but still stylish enough for a laid-back office. Add a pretty necklace (or a few bracelets) and some colorful flats. You could layer it under a cardigan or a blazer too.
Start with a simple Topshop striped tank ($56) and add an interesting jacket, like this textured Go Make Noise jacket ($70). A contrasting print on your shoes, like leopard flats, would be cute…but if that’s too funky, swap them out for simple black or taupe ones.
I like a chambray top (the one above is from J.Crew, but this one from Nordstrom is a bit cheaper) with a classic pullover (Gap, $39.95). Wear with skinny black pants or jeans and add these Gap flats.
This Zara blouse is so pretty—it will look great this spring by itself or you can wear it now with a jacket. The print is big and bold, so keep the jewelry simple (the necklace above is from Baublebar). I love contrasting black and white with spring colors, so these pink wedges ($69) from TOMS are perfect.

I hope this gives you a few ideas! Congratulations on the new job!
