Trends are constantly changing so we teamed up with Proper & Prim and Straus for Men to find clothing and accessory items to fit the fads as we transition from spring to summer in the workplace.
MEN’S
All items can be found at Straus for Men
4487 Calico Drive S, Fargo

Tan sport coat (Poplin, $165) | Button-down shirt (Maker, $99.50)
Denim (34 Heritage, $165)
Blue linen sport coat ($195) | Luxury t-shirt (Left Coast Tee, $70)
This is a great jacket to keep at the lake for a quick night out this summer.
Light brown suit w/ blue windowpane (Jack VIctor, $695)
Dress shirt (Enro, $87.50)
Wyatt by Rockport ($149)
Fantastic, comfortable shoe. Goes great with jeans, chinos or dress pants. Have some fun with cool and colorful socks to set yourself apart at work or out to dinner.
Indie boot by Florsheim ($175)
This is a great way to dress up a nice pair of jeans. This boot is extremely comfortable and offers all-day support. Year-round styling and functionality.
Heights by Florsheim ($125)
Available in wingtip or cap toe, the rubber sole on this shoe makes it very comfortable. This shoe is “at home” in the boardroom or out for dinner and drinks. The Heights can work comfortably with almost any outfit.
Leather belts ($45-$75)
From casual to dressy, Straus for Men has you covered.
Sport coat (S. Cohen, $495)
Dress shirt (Enro, $87.50)
Cotton chino pant (Mine, $125)
This is a super comfortable pant that stretches as you move. Available in khaki, navy and black.
Silk ties ($45-$95) | Knit tie ($39.50)
That’s right. Knit ties are coming back in a big way. Great for a slightly more casual look. If you’re older than 45, admit it: You liked them in the ‘80’s, and you’ll like them even more now.
WOMEN’S

White blazer (Glamorous, $73)
You can make almost any outfit work for business by adding this jacket.
Sleeveless blouse (Olivaceous, $28)
A shirt that should be a staple in everyone’s closet. Cute and easy to wear with a cardigan or blazer.
Suede ankle booties w/ gold toe (Qupid, $31)
Suede season is upon us. Grab these shoes, and add a gold accent to your outfit.
Zip pouch ($16)
Comes in a variety of prints. Keeps cords and chargers organized.
Gold, convertible crossbody ($38)
Available in many colors. Switch from crossbody to a clutch. Small enough to fit in your work bag. Big enough to hold everything you need.
Dusty olive floral top (Everly, $44.75)
Room spray (PF Candle Co., $10)
Freshen up the office, car or fabrics.
Terrarium dish ($6.75)
Holds paperclips, coins, etc., at a desk.

Black skirts are a classic, must-have item. The button front is making a comeback thanks to the ’70’s trend this season.
