As the blogger behind Penny Chic, I’m all about blending summer style with professionalism through affordable wardrobe choices. I’ve curated 10 essential summer work pieces that meet my standards for fit, style, budget, and versatility. Twice a week, I’ll be styling outfits with these staples and featuring real women to model them.
So far, I’ve showcased the versatility of a body-con dress, patterned pants, and a tweed skirt. Today’s feature is all about the fabulous ASOS Bermuda shorts!
Today’s Model
Meet Thia, an actress from L.A. While she might not have a traditional 9-to-5 job, she’s here to show you how to rock these shorts in a professional setting. This outfit takes a slightly different approach from my previous look styled with the same shorts. By tucking in the top, I’ve created a more structured A-line silhouette, giving the appearance of a skirt with a chic cinched waist. The addition of pink pumps introduces a delightful pop of color, while a long faux-pearl necklace adds the perfect finishing touch, ensuring the outfit remains balanced.
Are wide-leg Bermudas work-appropriate? What’s your take?
