I love the color navy– truly a workhorse neutral of my wardrobe. And while yes, it’s dark and might not be what one characterizes as a classic summer color, you can definitely wear it June through August. I’m doing so here by pairing it with a nautical striped tank and a white blazer.
The JCrew Schoolboy blazer is a lifesaver; I have three different versions of this jacket in my closet. White linen is very quintessential summer, and a blazer is great to keep the chill of my AC-cooled office at bay. I rounded out the look with neutral color block sandals in a very-doable mid-heel + a super easy striped tank. Bonus: it’s so easy to shed the jacket post-workday to transition the look from day to night.
Do you take colors typically saved for fall/winter and work them in for summer?
Great staple look, Ash! Gorgeous on you!
What a perfect summer office outfit!

Cute but very professional! I would totally wear this. Love those pants!
So pretty!
I love J.Crew’s blazers- they’re my favorite!
You look beautiful. 🙂
Really great pants-trousers. I love navy, too, but I need to get better about wearing it during the summer. Unless it’s part of a print- like in a dress or something- I just don’t think to wear it. But you’ve proven that you definitely can! 🙂
Mark it on your to-wear list! 🙂
love the navy look too! perfect girl!

Adorable!

I love navy and definitely wear it through the summer. I love how you’ve paired it with the lighter brighter colors to make it more seasonally appropriate!
Totally the idea- take a “winter” color in an all-season fabric and you can make it work during the summer. 🙂 Thanks, Inge!
Looking gorgeous as usual, Ashley!
I love the navy style! So fancy and always trendy! 🙂

Now that is something I need in my closet, a white linen blazer!! Loving the look, as awlays. xoLili
White linen just screams summer, no? 🙂
J.crew is one of the best shops to score cute blazers and pants- love to catch stuff on sale!
Love those skinny fit trousers! Great color on you, too.
Thanks, Em! 🙂
Great outfit!
Awesome post, girl! Love it!
LOVE those sandals!
I love wearing navy, too. I think it’s a “fun” neutral opposed to black. Although I wear a ton of black, tsk tsk!
I love black, too. I can count the number of pairs of cropped black trousers I have on BOTH hands, haha. 🙂
I have those Zara heels and I really like them. They’re so cute, but they aren’t that high so I can wear them literally all day and my feet don’t hurt! Best of both worlds. 🙂
Navy as a neutral is a great concept- I need to remember this when I’m searching for something to wear! 🙂
Classic look!
Pretty sandals. I really need to check out more of the mid-heel shoes. 🙂
I love a striped tank, too! Hope you have a good week!
Very cute! The blazer is such a great wardrobe staple. The white and the tortoise shell buttons make the outfit seem so summery. Loveeee the heels as well!
I seriously lean on blazers- even in the summertime! Great wardrobe staple, indeed. 🙂
Perfect summer look!!!!
Kisses doll!
navy is such a great color to wear, i like to wear it a lot! i don’t look as fancy as you do, love the outfit by the way. looking beautiful lady! xoxo
Thanks, Meg! 🙂
I LOVE navy too! Like probably a better neutral that black and brown! 😉 What an adorable outfit!
I love this outfit. My first thought was sailor chic. You should be on a yacht somewhere with you hair blowing in the wind. You’ve reminded me that I need to totally find a great fitting, crisp, white blazer. No statement necklace or jewels this time? Still lovely though.
Haha- that’s exactly what I need in my life: a yacht! 🙂 And I kept the look minimal re: jewelry because a statement necklace just felt too heavy, you know? Gotta switch it up! 🙂
Love this look! I’m very partial to navy – I think it’s one of my favorite colors! So easy to wear.

Oh my goodness, this is adorable! Definitely a look I’d wear too. I’m always donning fall/winter colors and items during the summer. Mixing it all up is half the fun, I think!

Totally agree that navy is very wearable throughout the summer months. It can be a nice alternative to black! You look very sharp yet stylish 🙂
