How to dress for work in the summer – For her
29 May 2024
Sunny days and balmy evenings are here. If you're thinking about refreshing your summer work wardrobe, you've landed in the right place. We've curated a selection of our favourite summer workwear essentials and the key to mastering on-duty dressing this sunny season and beyond.
Invest in linen trousers
Linen trousers are a must-have for the office. Apart from being lightweight and breathable, they go with everything in your wardrobe, which means they do the trick for both the office and all the social events in your summer calendar. Ours come in a wide leg with a stay crease for a flattering fit. They're flexible enough to pair with a flat sandal by day and a mule by night.
The pretty floral blouse
Florals for summer? While they're not groundbreaking, they're an item that will forever prove its staying power in your wardrobe. Workwear blouses in pretty florals go a long way — they only need minimal accessorising, as the print does the heavy lifting. The ultimate style to pair with jeans or trousers, add it to your work rotation immediately.
Dress up in colour
Every summer dress code calls for a bright-coloured dress, and nothing shouts summer like cobalt blue. We love our Fern Shirt Dress, crafted from a Lyocell blend, making it incredibly soft and ever-so-comfortable. And can we talk about the flattering midi length and shape — simply blue-tiful! Emphasised with a self-fabric belt to accentuate the waist, we suggest styling with white trainers for dressed-up dressing-down moments or espadrilles to take things up a notch.
Make it a midi
The midi skirt. It easily earns its title as the hardest-working item in many wardrobes thanks to its wear-with-anything appeal. Take a printed one like our Amber skirt as proof. It’s pretty print and swirl silhouette make it a piece your work wardrobe needs this summer. Style with a white tee and trainers for easy elegance.
Summer whites
White tees for workwear are everything. They serve as the perfect canvas for accessorising and creating various smart-casual office looks. Ideal for days when you need to look pulled together at the office, they offer endless versatility. Wear with blue denim and switch up the formula slightly by going for one with simple detailing lace inserts like our pretty linen tee.
