19 Jul Summer Workwear

Achieving summer workwear that looks chic and sophisticated in the rising temperatures can be quite the challenge. However, with expertly curated accessories, lightweight fabrics, and a keen eye for details, our team of professional stylists know how to strike the perfect combination of professionalism and style to beat the heat.

You can never go wrong with a pop of color to bring any outfit to the next level. Pairing a top in a bold color with a printed trouser in complementary colors creates cohesion within your look, while expressing your style in a way that is office-appropriate. Add silver earrings with interesting details and a similarly textured necklace to accessorize. Slip on your favorite pair of loafers and you’re ready to hit the office!

If you work in a more conservative setting rather than creative, opt for a power suit. While a suit may sound confining in the heat, opting for one in a lightweight fabric gives you all the breathability you need. Here, Kate D. styled a teal blue suit but this look is applicable to any range of colors, from bright statement suits to classic neutrals. Pairing a slightly wider leg trouser with a coordinating blazer and a printed blouse modernizes to a timeless workwear look. Add a brown leather belt to accentuate your waistline and tie in some of the colors in the blouse. Top it off with a classy earring in a color that complements your suit, and wear with a fun summer block heel or a pointed toe heel, depending on your working environment.

Opt for a sleeveless top and skirt combination to combat the summer heat while still looking fabulous. A printed pencil skirt perfectly balances professionalism with personality and style. Hone in on one of the colors in the print to revolve the rest of your outfit around–Here, Morgan M. emphasized the green hues in the skirt’s print and paired it with a silky, sleeveless green blouse to match. By tucking in the top and adding a statement belt, this look becomes instantly figure-flattering and elevated. Pair with gold jewelry (bonus points if it includes color-coordinating details!) and a pair of pointed toe heels.

A printed dress is the perfect workwear option to look chic, polished, and comfortable. The perfect one and one outfit! Requiring little to no effort in the mornings, you can easily throw it on and run out the door in no time feeling confident and ready to conquer the day. The fabric is breathable for the hot summer days and the collar and button-up closure give it that work-ready polish. Mix in some gold accessories with subtle pops of color that mimic the print of the dress. Bonus style tip: replace the fabric belt of the dress with a leather belt to bring a new level of sophistication to your outfit. Pair with a classic strappy neutral heel for a timeless look.
