What to wear to work this summer: 8 Style Panel tips for keeping it classy at the office
Hot days call for tank tops and destroyed denim, but what happens when your summertime destination is more deskside than beachside? The perfect weekend outfit may be fun to style, but deciding what to wear to work this summer takes a little more thought. And although it may be humid outside, our workplaces often come with air conditioning on full blast! What’s a temperature-confused girl to do? Figuring out what balances staying cool in the heat yet warm in the office, is no easy feat. And because crop tops and short shorts will probably get you sent home, we asked our Style Panel to give us the scoop on solving all your officewear dilemmas.
When it comes to office-apropos advice, our Style Panel agrees that layers and the right fabrics are key elements to keep in mind. Jill Lansky of The August Diaries balances professionalism and staying cool with naturally breathable fabrics like cotton. Barbara Ann Solomon of Barbara Ann’s Style Blog and Becky Kung of Velvet & Vino both agree that a dress is the way to go this season. While Solomon focuses on the right accessories, Kung shows us how a unique dress can keep your summer office look fresh! And don’t forget your footwear. With Love Gabrielle’s Marta Tryshak reminds us of one rule never to break: a proper shoe. Steer away from flip flops; those babies belong on the beach!
