29 May 2024
Warmer weather calls for a work wardrobe switch-up. Not sure where to start? We've curated a selection of summer workwear essentials you can style with everything. Think linen shirts, polos, chinos, and light layers to keep you looking sharp and comfortable in the heat.
The summer hero shirt
First up, a linen shirt. The easy, breezy, dream warm-weather fabric. Every summer work wardrobe needs one. They look and feel good and will keep you looking effortlessly pulled together in the heat. There are lots of ways to style it - wear it loose with the sleeves rolled up or tucked into chinos, it looks great either way.
Pastel polos
A workwear wardrobe without a polo shirt? No such a thing. Every summer casual work dress code calls for one, two, a few. And as it's summer, we suggest one in pastel. Versatile and ideal for layering, they're the reliable go-to that never disappoints. Our favourite way to wear them? Loose, over chinos paired with white trainers.
Lighter layering
Layering is a must in summer, not only for combating the office air con, but also for those evenings when the weather turns a little chilly. Look no further than our layering heroes. There's plenty to choose from, but you can't go wrong with a half-zip knit. It's not just stylish, it's practical too, so you're prepared for any weather change. Pair it with a shirt or tee for an effortlessly polished look.
Switch to chinos
Summer is the perfect time to shake up your trouser rotation. Chinos are always a winner — they're lightweight, versatile, and comfortable, giving jeans a run for their money. Dress them up or dress them down—it's so simple. Ours come in various shades, but a classic neutral tone is ideal for summery work outfits. Pair them with tees or shirts for effortless, wear-all-week versatility.
Summer shorts
And lastly, shorts. There's no better way to embrace the warm weather than in a pair of shorts. Chino shorts. Our signature Bermudas strikes the perfect balance between smart and casual, making them ideal for work and weekend wear. We recommend pairing them with a white shirt or tee for an office-appropriate look.
