Warm Weather Workwear

by Mary-Kate McAllister 12 Aug 2024
Navigating office fashion in the summer can be tricky. You want to look professional but also stay cool and comfortable. Here’s a detailed guide to help you dress appropriately for the office while beating the heat in style.
Fabric Matters
  • Cotton: This natural fibre is breathable and absorbs moisture, keeping you cool and dry.
  • Linen: Known for its lightweight and breathable properties, linen is perfect for hot weather. Just be mindful of its tendency to wrinkle.
  • Moisture-Wicking Blends: These technical fabrics pull moisture away from your skin, helping you stay dry and comfortable all day.
    The Basics: Office Essentials
    • Lightweight Blazers: Opt for blazers made from lightweight fabrics like cotton or linen. They provide a polished look without the bulk.
    • Breathable Blouses and Shirts: Choose short-sleeve or sleeveless blouses in light colours to reflect the heat. Avoid heavy fabrics like polyester that can trap heat.
    • Tailored Trousers: Lightweight, loose-fitting trousers made from breathable fabrics ensure comfort and professionalism.
    • Knee-Length Skirts and Dresses: These provide ventilation and keep you cool. Look for styles in airy fabrics with a bit of structure for a professional appearance.

    Layer Smartly
    • Cardigans and Light Sweaters: Keep a light cardigan or sweater at your desk for when the office air conditioning gets too chilly.
    • Layering Techniques: Layer a lightweight blouse under a sleeveless dress or pair a short-sleeve shirt with a light blazer. This allows you to adjust your outfit as temperatures fluctuate.

    Footwear Choices
    • Breathable Shoes: Opt for shoes made from natural materials like leather or canvas. Open-toe shoes or sandals can be a good option if your office dress code allows.
    • Loafers and Ballet Flats: These are stylish and comfortable choices for the office. Look for pairs with cushioned insoles and breathable linings.

    Professional but Comfortable Looks
    • The Classic Combo: Pair a crisp, white blouse with a knee-length A-line skirt and ballet flats. Add a light blazer for a more formal look.
    • The Modern Minimalist: Opt for tailored trousers, a simple tank top, and a lightweight cardigan. Finish the look with loafers and minimal jewellery.
    • The Stylish Dress: Choose a knee-length, sleeveless dress in a breathable fabric. Pair it with comfortable flats and a light scarf for added style.
