How to Dress for Casual Fridays

By Stacey Freeman 1 Comment

how to dress for casual fridays 07Ever wonder how to dress for casual Fridays? It is a balancing act because you want to break out your jeans, but you also need to make sure you aren’t too casual.

how-to-dress-for-casual-fridays-05For a lot of companies, almost anything goes for casual Fridays. I’ve seen people wearing shorts, leggings, ripped jeans and athleisure pants. Even though you might be able to wear ultra casual clothes to the office, I wouldn’t suggest it. It is one thing to feel comfortable, but it is another to think about how people percieve you.

how-to-dress-for-casual-fridays-06I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but what you wear and how you present yourself matters. Yes, it might be somewhat superficial. It might even seem unfair, but it is the reality of the world we live in. People judge you and reward you for how you look, how you act, and how you put yourself out in the world. Dressing well for work will help you get ahead because people will perceive you as taking your position more seriously. Plus, dressing well also boosts your self esteem and confidence.

So how do I master casual Fridays? I have a casual Friday uniform that I rotate so I always look put together but still comfortable every week.

How to Dress for Casual Fridays — What you need:

1. Fitted Blazer

To create a polished work-appropriate look, you need to include a well-cut, well-fitting blazer. Blazers are one of the items in my closet I’m always willing to invest a little more money in because they immediately create a put-together look. You can find great blazers at many different price points. I recently saw this one at Banana Republic and it’s on my current wish list. I have lots of blazers in my closet, but I tend to rotate the black and navy ones in the most. Neutral colors go with everything, so grabbing these blazers always creates a finished look.

2. Nice Jeans

When it comes to wearing denim to the office, I prefer to choose a uniform, darker washed, skinny jeans. I do think it is appropriate in some offices to wear trendier jeans that have rips in the knees or a more washed-out look, but for my office setting, I avoid those. I personally love the look of skinny jeans with blazers, but you could also try flare jeans that are so popular this spring.

3. High Heels

how-to-dress-for-casual-fridays-03I wear flats to work on a regular basis, because there are so many stylish options available. But when it comes to how to dress for casual Fridays, I always insist on wearing heels with jeans. Wearing heels helps make the look more polished. Heels also add a dimension of sexy while also emphasizing toned legs in skinny jeans. I often wear simple heels, but I also like to add fun elements too. Finding heels with a funky print or in a bright color can add visual interest to your look.

4. Statement Jewelry

You will hardly ever find me without a statement necklace around my neck. I love necklaces, so almost always through one on to add some shine to my casual Friday looks. I almost always wear the same diamond studs, my wedding ring and the little stacking rings. Every now and then, I’ll throw on a chunky ring or bangles too. With your casual Friday look, you can add any of these elements, just ensure you add a piece that adds some shine and bling to your look.

5. Nice Bag

how-to-dress-for-casual-fridays-04I’m a handbag junkie. I love designer bags because they elevate everyday looks. Even when I’m wearing a sweatshirt and jeans on the weekend with chucks, I’ll carry my Chloe bag and instantly feel more put together. It’s not the cost of the bag (I get almost all of my second-hand), it’s the quality of the materials used. Take my Chloe bag, you can tell it is genuine leather with high quality hardware that really pops. If you are interested in resale like me, check out this link for my favorite online shopping tips.

That's why I love having @Progresso Toppers soups on hand because they make quick and  tasty lunch options when I'm super busy. They are so convenient - and the soup also comes with a topper for the perfect crunch. They come in five different flavors and are ready in minutes. All five flavors of the Progresso Toppers are made with quality ingredients and no added sugar, or artificial flavors, or colors. If you're looking for a quick, convenient and delicious lunch option, definitely check out Progresso Toppers! #progresso #progressotoppers #takeacrunchbreak

After the high of the holidays, I find myself feeling kinda sad in January.

Last week in Puerto Vallarta was such a dream but I’m definitely feeling the post-vacation blues.

I’ve received a lot of DMs about traveling to Puerto Vallarta. New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing a full blog recap, including my thoughts on traveling during the pandemic and the experience we had.
.
Here’s a bit about where we stayed —  @villapremiere — is doing a fantastic job at keeping their employees and guests safe. Everyone is required to wear a mask; social distancing is maintained at all restaurants and public spaces; staff do not enter rooms except for room cleaning when the room is empty; hand sanitizing stations are present throughout the resort; hotel capacity is capped to ensure proper social distancing. I honestly felt very safe. If you have any other questions, please dm me or leave your questions below.

@villapremiere has gone out of their way to make my birthday magical. For my birthday dinner, they created a private four-course dinner for us in their gazebo peninsula that has the most amazing views of downtown Puerto Vallarta. Check out the (shaky) video I took as we walked to dinner. Honestly, I’ve never had such a special birthday. I can’t thank @villapremiere and @enroute_communications enough.

This is the first vacation I’ve had where the ha This is the first vacation I’ve had where the hardest decision is what drink to order at the swim up bar🍹. To say @villapremiere is true paradise wouldn’t even do it justice. We keep saying to each other, “this doesn’t feel like real life, we are so lucky.” Thank you @villapremiere for the absolute best birthday I’ve ever had.

When I thought about where to celebrate my birthday this year, I immediately thought of Puerto Vallarta. I had such a phenomenal experience here in 2019 with @visitpuertovallarta and @enroute_communications - I knew I had to come back. 
.
Thankfully, @villapremiere agreed to host me and I feel so beyond lucky. This place is pure magic. Head over to my stories for all the highlights over the next few days!
