It's hot outside and you need to wear something for work. Finding summer items that are appropriate for work can be tricky. I rounded some dresses and tips to solve that problem.
What's hard about summer work wear is that you can't wear flip flops and shorts. At the same time, it's so hot that just thinking about wearing a blazer makes you sweat.
"You want to wear something that's going to keep you cool during your commute, warm in your freezing office, plus take you from your desk to al fresco drinks—all while sticking to an office dress code."
Source: ElleYou want to look professional while keeping cool. On top of that, you are dealing with drastic temp changes throughout the day. The A/C being blasted inside and the sun beating down once you step outside.
I rounded up some dresses to keep you professional and a few tips for your summer workwear:
1. Stick to Lighter FabricsThat is is a no brainer. Go with lighter fabrics to keep you cool. That way, you can layer thin cardigan while you are inside. I like linen and cotton items. These dresses are pretty light so I can keep cool.
2. Go with Necklines with Enough CoverageOpt for necklines that give you coverage without requiring a cami underneath. That way you don't need to wear two layers since it's hot. If you notice, this midi dress below has a high neckline. I tucked in the collar to open it up a bit.
