summer styles office. Summer is just around the corner, the temperatures are rising and the need for layers is diminishing. So how do you keep your professional image when wearing light summer clothes? Despite the office dress code, many business casual offices tend to get more causal as the heat waves roll in. With a few simple Workchic suggestions you can keep up your professional image and still enjoy the summer trends like raffia espadrilles with capris and shirt dresses with peep toe wedges.This punchy pink shirtdress looks chic in polished cotton and is cool during the summer months. We piled on some bangles and more casual accessories like a loose tie dye scarf. We also went with a casual alternative to a tote bag, and selected a fringe cross-body or messenger style. The outfit is completed with a low heel, wrapped peep toe style wedge. It’s a versatile summer shoe that can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion.

Since the weather is nice, save those dry clean only wool trousers for cooler temps or big meeting days. Instead turn to cotton capris. For a business casual workplace slim cropped navy pants are a great transitional piece. Pair them with open toe platform espadrilles. Then layer a collarless jacket over a linen blend tunic. We love how this one has crochet trim along the neckline. Finish the Workchic look with Banana Republic Disco bangles and Perseus earring that pull the coral color from the blouse.
