Summer workwear: what to wear in the office when the sun is out
The sun is out. I repeat, the sun is out.
The arrival of our big yellow BFF (he’s been something of a fleeting character this summer) means you must head directly for the nearest retail outlet and treat yourself to an office-proof sun dress.
“But the shops are full of sale tat,” I hear you yell. Incorrect. There are still hot summer finds to be had. You may just have to move some unwanted size zero bikinis aside in order to uncover them.
If you’re stuck at work (join the club) I’d suggest opting for a button-through style. Zara and H&M are full of floral-print styles that should work well.
A cotton dress with capped sleeves (see Cos) is also a smart plan.
Of course, if toeing the line where appropriate workwear is concerned is not your bag, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t opt for a dress with a little beach appeal.
A kaftan à la Whistles’ divine Karen dress (I’m biased but it really is ace) is the ultimate way to ensure your heart and head remain on holiday during even the dullest early-morning meeting.
