Office outfits for hot weather

When the temperatures get higher, we only want to soak in a hammock, pass our time at the beach or on the edge of a turquoise pool, refresh with a lemonade and wear as few clothes as possible. Unfortunately, we need to go to the office too – and not dressed the way we feel like, in holiday outfits, but in something more appropriate! In order to make your mornings easier, we have put together a short list of stylistic ideas – practical, simple, at hand – for your professional wardrobe, from which you can get inspiration when the temperatures exceed 35 degrees.

Idea # 1: A sleeveless dress

This kind of dress can be – and should be – a key piece in your office wardrobe for the hot months. Choose a model with simple tailoring, classic-elegance or modern, in a seasonal print and match it with a thin jacket, colored in one of the shades of the print. We recommend the sleeveless dress because the models with straps fall into the category of casual pieces, not suitable for the office. From a practical point of view, we recommend the blazer because it protects you from the air conditioning and completes the professional note of the dress (especially if you work in a professional conservative environment). Accessorize the dress with ballerinas or sandals with medium skin color heels and a shoulder bag.

Idea # 2: A pair of slim pants

A pair of pants made of thin or fluid material – cotton, linen, cupro, tencel, lyocell – will save you on very hot days. Choose a light cut, in no case mulatto or skinny, with classic or modern length (up to the ankle or culottes up to the middle of the leg). Also, look for a neutral color or a classic print (checkers, micro-bubbles, fine stripes), to keep them in the professional area (blue, light grey, beige, khaki, olive green, cherry). Pair them with a short-sleeved top or sleeveless top; add trimmed ballerinas, possibly a colored strap and some light accessories. You can leave the house confident that you have built a feminine and comfortable outfit.

Idea # 3: a cotton blouse

Woven materials made from natural fibers allow air to flow through the fabric, which helps the body to feel less heat. Exactly these qualities are necessary for our summer wardrobe, when we do our best to wear less artificial fibers, less thick materials, less dark colors. Cotton blouses (and other fibers mixed with cotton – silk, linen, viscose, bamboo, even elastane or polyester) should be a priority on shopping lists and, subsequently, in building outfits for hot temperatures: they are not only cool, but also have a minimalist elegance (even when not tight or perfectly ironed). A rustic top, white and also with white embroidery, will be suitable for the office when it is matched with a flared skirt and a pair of heeled sandals.

My recommendations:
