Personally when I am going to an event, I like to choose something that is a bit unexpected to wear. And while a suit is not totally unexpected, I think it is a fresh twist on a classic wedding guest look. The newest collection from Express is sophisticated yet fresh and the mix and match possibilities are endless! This beautiful floral print is my favorite part of the collection because it gives the feel of Hawaii in a more elevated way.
As long as I can remember, Express has been my go to for blazers and trouser pants. The fit is always perfection and the quality is beyond impressive for the price. This pink pair of pintuck trousers is no exception. I did my regular size 4 but opted for the long version since I knew I wanted to wear them with these black heels and wanted them full length. I would say they run true to size and coming in at under $100 they are a very affordable closet staple. I chose this floral tube top to pair with the trousers and the colors match perfectly. The top has adorable feminine details such as a small cut out in the front and sweetheart neckline. The back is elastic allowing the top to lay perfectly and stay up comfortably. I am wearing the small and would say it runs true to size. This top would also be adorable with a pair of 90’s style denim for a date night look. If you are headed to a more formal event, you can throw on this gorgeous matching pink blazer to take the look to the next level. I sized up to a medium here for a more oversized on trend look and love the fit. And to complete the look, I threw on my favorite black sandals from Express with the gold chain detail. These come in 4 color options and run true to size. They look perfect with dresses, skirts, trousers and even denim! At under $100, these are sure to become a pair you wear time and time again.
Since I loved this floral so much, I couldn’t pass up this adorable eyelet sundress in the same print. The fabric is just beautiful and the fit is perfection. It has adjustable straps and an elastic waist making it an easy fit. I’m wearing a size small and would say it runs true to size. The wrap belt can be tied any way you like or even removed it you prefer a more simple look. But I always find this style to be incredibly flattering on all body types. We have so many graduation parties coming up and I thought this would be the perfect little dress to throw on for one of those. Again I paired my favorite black chained sandals with the dress and they look great with it!
If you are looking for summer classics with an updated look, this collection is serving all of that! The colors are stunning, the prints are fun yet sophisticated and fabrics are incredibly luxe. I truly believe no one does blazers and trousers like Express does and at a price point that doesn’t break the bank.
