We’re going to give you the best tips to stand out at the office while remaining professional. Explore all the possibilities with our help and be bold with our suggestions, adapting them to your personal taste. Let’s dive in!
Casual office looks for summer
The look will not only depend on your tastes, but you also have to adapt to the etiquette required. If your office doesn’t have a dress code and even the bosses wear jeans, a casual look will be more than enough to go to the office in summer. Take a look at our suggestions:
Long and lightweight dresses
If what matters most to you is being comfortable and not too hot, lightweight dresses are your best option. Opt for breathable fabrics such as linen in light colors or with simple floral prints. Pastel colors are trendy and ideal for the hottest days.
ACCESSORIES: To add that professional touch to your outfit, choose discreet earrings and delicate necklaces in gold or silver. We recommend thin chains and small pendants. Transform your after-office look with a long necklace of colorful beads – you’ll see a real change!
Trousers with patterned blouse
If you prefer to wear trousers to the office in summer, we recommend light colors combined with discreet blouses and simple patterns. Do you like bold colors? Then go for a pair of red summer trousers and pair them with a white shirt and light sandals. This is a comfortable, casual option but also elegant enough for the office in summer.
ACCESSORIES: If you choose red trousers, we recommend completing the look with discreet gold jewelry so they don’t compete with your clothes. Also, add a white leather bag with gold details.
Elegant looks for the office in summer
Some companies require their workers to dress more elegantly, which can be a challenge when the heat arrives. But don’t despair, we’ve got the summer office looks you’ve been looking for!
Looks with white blazer
A blazer adds a touch of elegance to any outfit. To adapt to the warmer time of the year, swap that dark dress jacket you wear in winter for a white blazer. Look for a light jacket that you can combine with classic smart trousers in neutral tones or even with a formal dress. The result will be an elegant look, perfect for summer office wear.
ACCESSORIES: If you choose the trousers, go for white loafers. The dress can be combined with strappy sandals and low heels to be as comfortable as possible. Give that final touch with simple gold jewelry with small diamonds.
Looks with long skirts in summer
If skirts are your favorite thing to wear in summer, you can still wear them at the office, even if they require you to dress up. Save the floaty skirts for evenings outdoors and go for a pencil skirt. This is the most classic option for the office and they reach above the knee. To adapt to the summer season, go for light colors and combine the skirt with a silk blouse in pastel shades. Mint green is always an excellent choice.
ACCESSORIES: Pearl earrings go perfectly with this summer office look. Add a short pearl necklace and a gold watch and you’re ready for your day at the office!
General tips for your office looks
Regardless of the time of the year, certain rules will help you choose the right clothes, if you feel unsure. Here are our tips below:
- Dress code: You need to know the dress code. It may have already been explained to you at the job interview. If not, take a look at the interviewer’s look or that of your co-workers. If you’re still unsure, ask questions! There’s nothing wrong with taking an interest in the company’s dress code.
- Comfortable clothes: Normally we have to comply with a certain elegance in the office. But don’t forget that you are going to be spending many hours there wearing the same clothes. When in doubt, wear flat shoes and less tight-fitting clothes.
- Colors: Neutral colors are the most appropriate in offices. They convey professionalism and elegance. If you choose patterns, make sure they are discreet.
- Jewelry: It’s best to leave the flashiest jewelry for your free time and go for discreet jewelry for your office look, even in summer. Minimalist silver or gold jewelry is perfect for work.
- Accessories: Look for elegance in accessories too. A scarf in a neutral color and a matching medium-sized bag can add the finishing touch to your office look.
