This includes choosing heat-proof materials, having cohesive color palettes, doing smart layers, and picking beautiful, yet appropriate footwear. Oh, and never forget about accessories! There are a ton of summer accessories that can help you with the heat and complement the outfit. So, let’s check out some of these beautiful ideas for inspiration.

#Vest and trousers

Minimalistic, professional, and super chic. This vest and trousers combo is office-appropriate and is perfect for summer. We recommend getting both pieces tailored to fit, so it looks as best as possible. Pair this look with some beautiful sandals and a fun purse or sunglasses, and you are summer ready! It’s also a great option if your office likes to run the AC non-stop.

#Linen pants and a T-shirt

Linen is a real life-saver during the summer heat. So, grab some beautiful wide-legged linen trousers and a cotton-draped tee. This fit is simple, and causal, yet still looks very put together. The light colors and materials make it great for the summer heat, but you are also covered enough to not freeze in the office from the AC.

#Midi skirt and top

If you like wearing skirts during summer, this one is for you. While mini skirts may not be the best option for the office, you can’t go wrong with a midi skirt. They are long enough, it’s easy, breezy, and gives you plenty of space to experiment with the top. You can wear a flat or a heel with this fit, depending on how you feel. The skirt can be the centerpiece or choose some accessories as an accent. Oh, and if you have stricter HR policies then it may be best to go for a tank top rather than a crop top.

#Jeans and a button-down

If you want something that looks good but isn’t too dressed up, then this is a great pick. A classic white button down (oversized preferably) some jeans, and a good shoe are all you need. This outfit is versatile, and you can easily add some interesting accessories on top of this blank canvas.

#Big blazer and mini skirt

This summer both mini and maxi skirts are trending, and we are here for it. However, maxi skirts have a boho vibe that is more appropriate for the beach rather than the workplace. Pair your favorite mini skirt (just make sure it’s not too mini) with an oversized blazer with broad shoulders. Make sure to choose materials that are lightweight and made from cotton.
