When the temperature starts to rise, we’re faced with the workwear dilemma: what to wear to work when it’s blistering hot – and freezing cold inside?
In this curated edit you’ll find new-season closet essentials to refresh your capsule wardrobe for summer. For days when you’re back to back with meetings, opt for a sleeveless pinstripe jumpsuit or a structured suit in a lightweight fabric such as linen or cotton so you still look sharp and cool at the same time. If you have a long day and night ahead, reach for an on-trend balloon-hem midi dress that you can style with flats while at work and elevate with slingback pumps and bold jewellery for an evening of socialising. When the day calls for something more casual, the trend to try at the moment are long bermuda shorts or pedal pushers. Breezy yet still smart enough for the office, wear it with a polo knit sweater or a waistcoat. Keep a cardigan at bay and tie it around your shoulders or waist for when the office temperature drops to 20°. Add in accessories such as a bold cuff and earrings, as you please. To make an impact, look to wearing a tonal palette of beige, browns, grey, deep reds or even try this season’s buttermilk yellow for a burst of colour.
Here, we’ve rounded out 23 of the highstreet workwear essentials for summer:
