When it comes to modern vintage style, my closet is filled with all kinds of retro clothes. But like every woman, I sometimes also stand in front of my closet spending wasting time thinking about what I want to wear that day. Especially on a summer day in the office. So many modern vintage tropical summer style options, but…not everything is suitable.
On a warm summer day, I always bring a cardigan to the office because although it might be 25 degrees outside, it’s never 25 degrees inside. The same applies to hosiery. I always wear 8 dernier (summer) tights, because airconditioning ruins office life.
Besides that, certain things are only suitable out of office in my opinion. It kind of depends on the company you work, but strapless figure hugging dresses and (strapless) jumpsuits are definitely not part of my “in the office life”. Either way, I definitely do apply my modern vintage style in the office and out of office. Personally, I dislike the boring (black, neutral, nude colored) fashion that you usually see in the office (yes, even during summer). And as you might have seen, I like to live a colorful (fashion) life. My summer style is very much 50s and a dash of tiki inspired.
Obviously, there are differences in my modern vintage tropical summer style in the office and outside the office. So, today I am showing you some examples of my retro office outfits and similar retro out of office outfits and looks!
