It’s finally warm, so you want to throw off those layers you’ve been wrapping yourself in and after surviving winter. A few things you need in your summer work wardrobe:

1. Dresses: There’s not an article of clothing that is equal parts comfortable for summer, flattering to so many shapes and sizes, and comes in such diverse fabrics! Knee-length dresses with capped sleeves work very well—they’re comfortable and sexy, yet cover enough to still be appropriate for work. Wrap dresses are always a great choice ,and shirtwaist styles are also a cool way to maintain a preppy chic look.

2. Light Jackets: A blazer can work wonders for an outfit. Donning one instantly pulls your look together and, given cut and fabric, can add anything from professionalism to edge. Bonus: it'll save you from the chills of the office air conditioner!

 3. Smart Shoes: Ideally, you want a pair of shoes that will carry you from day through night. Tempting as they are, try to avoid flip-flops in the office. If you crave a flat shoe with the airiness of a sandal and that also shows off your pedi, go for an open-toed skimmer. A lower heeled sandal between 2” and 2.5” is also a great work-fashion compromise: short enough to be appropriate for work yet high enough to give you your heel fix. 

 4. Accessories: Summer is the season to show off great necklaces. Use them to complement the lower necklines of summer tops and dresses.
