Those eagerly awaited warmer days are here, bringing with them endless days on the beach, fun outings with friends and those family picnics in the park. But let's be honest, not everybody can enjoy these activities every day of the week.
So, if part of your week is spent in the office, and you feel that choosing summer work outfits is always complicated, we're going to help you make it easier! Since nobody wants to melt on hot days, here are some suggestions for summer office looks for women and for men.
Clothes for working in summer
When summer arrives, choosing the right clothes to wear to work can seem difficult, but we're going to give you some tips on the best fabrics and clothes to wear this season, without ever neglecting style.
First, start by putting those heavier, tighter fabrics back in the wardrobe. Warmer weather needs light, cool fabrics. Preferably cotton, which is a comfortable, breathable fabric. If you want a more sophisticated option, linen s the perfect choice! Apart from being chic, it’s also really light and perfect for more elegant work outfits in summer.
Another option is light denim, a light, cool denim fabric that you’ll be able to count on to stay comfortable and cool all day long.
Remember to choose clothes in looser models. Midi skirts, light dresses and flare or cropped trousers are excellent options for creating even more refined cool outfits.
Now you know: go for light, breathable fabrics to shine in your work outfits this summer.

Women's looks for working in summer
If you want to feel light, cool and comfortable, a dress is the ideal solution for you! You can go for a midi dress with floral patterns to rock your style when you get to the office, or a denim skirt with a basic top to give you an extra touch of elegance.
Overlays are trending too, so don’t forget to wear some dungarees or a denim dress with a white t-shirt underneath. This is a perfect combination for a more casual work outfit for summer.
But if you refuse to forego your favourite blazer even in summer, you just have to pair it with some linen trousers and a top with lace details for a cooler outfit. Another suggestion is to wear a linen blazer and shorts de linho in pastel shades with a contrasting colourful, satin-feel top or a basic crop top for a more versatile work outfit.
Of course, you can’t forget the most versatile item you can have in a work look: jeans. We recommend going for flare jeans, which are light, loose and glamorous, or some cropped jeans that are cooler and just as stylish. And if your office dress code is casual chic, you can’t go wrong if you pair your jeans with a basic shirt.
As for footwear for women, you can take a chance on white trainers that go with everything, or if you don't like wearing shoes in summer, go for flat or high-heeled sandals.
We're sure that you’ll feel ready to conquer the office whatever the look you choose, and still be able to take advantage of part of the sunny days after work.
Men's looks for working in summer
If you like to convey elegance, there's no reason to stop being sophisticated at work, even when it's hot outside.
If your style is casual chic, you can't go wrong with a summer office look that involves a white shirt and jeans with S-Tech technology, so that discomfort won't play any part in your workday. To complete your outfit on cooler summer days, take a chance on a light-coloured blazer in beige or light grey. For the final touch, add a pair of white trainers.
A more elegant option is a plain polo shirt and chinos. Try to have contrasting colours, for example by pairing a black polo shirt with beige trousers, or a white polo shirt with dark trousers. Finish off your outfit with suede shoes. You can be sure there’ll be no lack of style with this office outfit.
On those days when the thermometer seems to have reached its peak, you can also use this trick of colour contrasts with a polo shirt and chino shorts. Whether you go for trousers or shorts, we're sure that elegance will be key in your summer work outfit.
When you're choosing work clothes in summer, always put comfort, lightness and suitability to the professional environment first. But that doesn’t mean neglecting style, quite to the contrary! With the suggestions we've given you for summer office outfits, you’ll be able to maintain a pleasant temperature without neglecting elegance, even on the hottest days of the season, and without ever compromising on your professional look.
