Finding work-appropriate clothes this summer can sometimes be daunting, especially if your office leans towards the more formal side and the temperature keeps rising every week. That’s why I immediately added this Cream Crew Neck Longline Waistcoat to my basket the second I saw it. I knew it was the answer to my summer workwear prayers, and I think it can be yours too.

However, that isn’t to say that this top is purely for the office. Do you have to go straight from work to rooftop drinks? No problem, this chic and versatile number is perfect- especially now that it’s warming up. The round neck ensures that it’s conservative enough to feel comfortable anywhere, yet the breathable fabric ensures that you aren’t confined- and the fact that it’s sleeveless means no pesky sweat stains. The button detailing on the front adds another element of charm, and the relaxed fit ensures that you’ll be comfortable in this top all day. The bottom of the waistcoat tapers off into a ‘v’ shape, which is flattering on every body shape. If, like me, you’ve fallen in love with this top, then I’ve got some good news- it also comes in a light blue. You are so welcome.
It can be paired with some smart slacks for a meeting or a silky midi skirt for brunch with the girls- is there anything this waistcoat can’t do?
As if those weren’t enough reasons to click ‘buy,’ this waistcoat is on sale- reduced from £79 to £41.40. So, not only is it perfect for any occasion, but it’s great value for money too. My advice? Buy it now before your size runs out.
