With the Summer Solstice earlier this week we have marked the official start of summer! With that comes the heat. Many months of warm to extremely hot weather. This means that many days you may find yourself sweating in your business clothes while outside, but freezing while inside if your office cranks the AC to combat the heat!
Here are a few tips to help you dress for success AND the summer heat!
-Wear lighter colors like beige, white, and cream.
-Wear lighter fabrics that are more breathable, like silk or cotton.
-Pair shells and sweaters together so you can remove the sweater when outside.
-If you prefer skirts, pencil skirts are still professional.
-If you prefer pants, a wider leg allows for more airflow (but beware of looking sloppy, make sure they are tailored properly).
-If you need to wear a blazer or sports coat opt for lighter fabrics and stay away from synthetics, as those do not breathe.
-If dresses are your preference, avoid sundresses or anything overly casual, short, or spaghetti strapped.
-Shorts and rompers are not proper office attire or business casual.
