Stylist-Approved Outfits for Every Day of the Week
The challenge of what to wear to work in the summer is all too real. With rising temperatures outside and blasting AC units inside, it can be difficult to determine what’s office appropriate and what’s cool enough for the commute. Here, our cheat sheet on how to dress for your 9-to-5 and beyond.
With sophisticated silhouettes, cool-yet-crisp materials, and on-trend accessories, consider this your capsule wardrobe for hot days ahead.
Whether you’re working from home or walking to work, an on-trend suit vest and short combo is a smart choice to kick off the week. Tip: Add the cool factor with a studded black ballet flat and shiny bucket bag that can be worn crossbody to carry all the essentials.
You know how you reach for your darkest jeans when you want to dress up an outfit? Apply the same logic when selecting a midi dress for work. The dark denim material will feel current and sophisticated in the boardroom and just as chic after hours.
Put a twist on the classic button-up with a short-sleeve silhouette in a menswear-inspired stripe. This boyish crop looks great with a white slip skirt and little red kitten heels—plus, the woven bag is practical enough to carry your laptop but adds a seasonal touch of texture that we love.
This outfit is proof that investing in wardrobe workhorses pays off time and time again. For summer, keep the blazer at the office (hello, cold boardrooms!) and break up the monochromatic look with an outfit-making belt in a glossy croc. Tip: Opt for an on-trend mesh flat that’s a fun take on an open-toe shoe for the office.
A tailored tweed romper takes the thought out of dressing and makes an instant outfit for running to meetings around town. Be practical in woven Mary Janes and a roomy shoulder bag, then take your wallet out straight to happy hour.
Shake things up for playtime plans by pairing the color of the season (tomato red!) with a mini skirt in an unexpected leather material. Tip: Warm up this outfit for summer with a raffia flat and straw bag.
A lightweight cashmere tee is a weekend staple that can be layered any number of ways. This crew is brunch ready with the addition of a gold necklace, linen midi skirt, and black slides that make the look pop.
