Summer Attire Inspirations from Nordstrom

Midtown Commuting Style: From Office to Night Out

Navigating Midtown can be a daily challenge, especially for corporate employees sporting unique outfits and an array of tote bags. As summer approaches, I’ve set out to simplify my office wardrobe for a smooth transition from day meetings to evening gatherings.

My coworker, Aniyah Morinia, has mastered the “desk-to-drinks” look. Partnering with Nordstrom, she shares her styling secrets, showcasing how she transforms a simple outfit into multiple looks.

Outfit Inspiration

Casual Office to Meeting Ready
- Trousers & Top:
  Oversized trouser shorts from Good American provide comfort for commuting while maintaining a professional look. Pair these with a light ribbed tank and a cropped button-up from Madewell.
- Versatile Footwear:
  Opt for stylish yet comfortable shoes, perfect for days packed with meetings and after-work events.
“I often find myself at press previews or brand dinners, so a versatile outfit is crucial.” — Aniyah Morinia
Client Meetings
- Elevated Look:
  Pair strappy black kitten heels with a tailored waistcoat over your attire for an effortlessly chic appearance. The waistcoat offers structure without the predictability of a blazer.
“The power of clothes can boost confidence—this look shouts, ‘I know exactly what I’m talking about.'” — Morinia
Casual Night Out
- Comfort Meets Style:
  Transitioning into the evening? Swap your large work tote for a smaller shoulder bag. A patterned silk scarf adds a pop of dimension. Rely on comfy jelly mules for a stylish night on the town.
“For warmer days, a tank and shorts are my go-to. Accessories elevate the whole look!” — Morinia
