How to Dress at the Office during the Summer

With the rising temperatures and the chilly air conditioners in the office, you may find it difficult to getting dressed every morning. I have listed some go-to outfits for the summer! 1. Blouse & Skirt - Depending on your personal style, you could go as classic or as eclectic as you want. Keeping it more clean-cut and polished would be classic white blouse (maybe adding a puffier sleeve) and a printed pencil skirt. If you are looking to switch it up a bit, try a printed blouse with a striped pencil skirt. Now if fuller skirts suit your body type then switch the pencil skirt and still wear it as I have mentioned previously. Often in the summer a blazer tends to be set aside, but I would suggest looking for linen, polished cotton, or even silk. Don't be afraid to wear silk in the summer.
2. Dress - Honestly when all else fails, go into your closet and grab that dress! It will never fail you, and will work no matter the situation. For a more conservative look, try heather grey, navy, khaki, and/or black. All 4 of these colours are seen as your LBD (little black dress). Try adding some colour with your accessories, for example turquoise pumps and heather grey look great together. If your dress is sleeveless then you want to make sure for the office you have a cardigan or blazer to give you the complete look.
3. Pretty Pastels - A new palette for suiting can be seen in softer shades such a nude, blush, cream, mint, and peach.
