Finding the right balance between classy and professional in my wardrobe is challenging. Does this type of outfit look like a good option?

I'm not a fan of the blazer shown. Not sure it would flatter and is giving me weird prison vibes. Maybe a solid color blazer or even a cardigan instead?

The seersucker jacket is interesting. Would go for a simpler jacket. (I tend to do flat color, no patterns)

Color block can be interesting - I personally don’t enjoy loud patterns. As with all things style, wear what you feel great in!

I think that blazer could be swapped for something more classy. Stripes and most patterns aren’t necessarily the most flattering and can be distracting or hard to mix with other outfits. Shoes are too casual. I’d recommend a more classic kitten heel that’s not a sling back. Booties are good and loafers as well. Blouse opt for something lighter not gray or black with the black skirt. Color is good but not too flashy. Think what really highlights your skin and facial features. I.e brown eyes a medium pink would make them pop. If you are white and pale don’t wear white opt in for something that has some warm or jewel tones in it. At the end of the day whatever you feel confident and comfortable in will be best.

I think the outfit is a bit dated. The stripes are giving the 1980’s. The kitten heel, nope. I do like the tank, the skirt is too long. I’d go with the black tank, short white skirt and something other than the sling backs. Ditch the striped jacket for a solid black.

Sure.

I like it
