RIP denim

While we love nothing more than hot summer days, hot summer days when you’ve got to go to work can be sweaty and uncomfortable. These 10 key pieces will help you keep cool and look stylish all at the same time.

1. Tailored Shorts

Along with strapless tops and flimsy dresses that reveal too much, denim cut-off shorts are a definite no-no when it comes to work dressing in summer. Instead, opt for a pair of beautifully tailored shorts…

6. Espadrilles

If it’s been a while in between pedicures, and you don’t much feel like baring your chipped nails, then opt for a pair of airy canvas Espadrilles. They’re super comfy and super chic.

7. Good Quality Cotton T-Shirts 

Loose cotton t-shirts are a summer must. Investing in high-quality tees from luxe-casual brands is well worth it, and the high-quality material makes them appear dressier.

8. Lightweight denim culottes

Skinny jeans are not your friend in the warmer months. Opt for a more lightweight denim, and keep the cut wide-legged.

10. Prints

Avoid any colours where swat patches are more obvious, and go for a tropical or geometric print instead. Grey is not your friend. We repeat, grey is NOT your friend.
