We just wrapped up “fashion month,” where designers in four major fashion cities: New York, London, Milan and Paris present their collections for the upcoming season. While these clothes aren’t slated to be released for another six months, there are definitely accessible runway trends that can easily be incorporated into your wardrobe and on any budget.

Here are three Spring / Summer 2015 trends that you can wear to the office right now!

Military

Shirtdress / Bracelet / Earrings / Boots / Bag

The military inspired shirtdress is a great runway to office look. It’s an easy piece that flatters nearly any shape and this dress in particular comes in an office appropriate length. Keep the earthy military theme up with brown heeled combat boots from 6pm.com and matching Aldo handbag. Add a glam factor by mixing in gold accessories.

Kimono

Kimono style sweaters and jackets have been all over the runway. Luckily, they are also available in many reasonably priced retailers. This one from Boohoo is light and breezy and gives your outfit that ethereal movement. Round it out with a bright top and metallic accessories, including buckle ankle boots, Topshop wraparound ring and Vince Camuto hoop earrings.

Gingham

Dress / Belt / Earrings / Necklace / Bag / Shoes

A perpetual preppy favorite, gingham is having a moment on the runway. Try incorporating this trend with a Dorothy Perkins print dress. Add a dose of fall color by wearing a deep purple statement necklace. Keep the look from being too sweet by adding in edgier accessories like a wide exposed zipper belt and textured gold earrings. Finish off with office ready pumps and a polished handbag {less than $25 from H&M!}.
