Nothing screams "work" like a pinstripe ensemble, whether it's your favourite pair of slacks or a crisp button-down shirt. Bonus if you combine a few different pinstriped pieces for a low-key pattern-mixing moment.

It's not just all about the miniskirt in the summer. The maxi skirt deserves some love, too! Lean into lighter colours (like baby blue and cream) as well as lighter fabrics that are cooling and breathable, like cotton or other natural fibres.

Nothing excites me more than a good set, so obviously, I had to throw a summer suit in here. You'll look like a total boss, and extra credit if it's a linen set with the sleeves pushed up slightly for that lived-in, let's-get-down-to-business look. Pair with woven shoes, a bag, and your favourite "I'll handle this" sunnies.

Keep things simple with your favourite tank top and add an office-ready element with a chic midi skirt. Depending on how strict your work environment is, you can swap out the sandals for some flats and throw a button-up over the tank!

Layering correctly will save you throughout the summer, especially for those of us constantly moving between wildly varied temperatures. Keeping a lightweight sweater on you will do the trick, and you can style it over a contrasting collared shirt with a pleated skirt for a preppy (yet professional) moment.

Summer boots exist, people. Pick out a midi dress to wear with them (bonus points if the hem goes past the top of your boots—trust me, it looks so chic!) and you'll feel like the most stylish person at the water cooler.

Depending on what work is for you (hey, maybe you're the boss and you set the dress code), a strappy bralette and pantsuit could totally work. If that's testing the waters a bit too much for you, swap out the bralette for a silk tank top.

Not allowed to wear shorts to the office? Try a trendy, work-approved capri. A fun printed shoe keeps the vibe easy-going, but if you need to dress it up, consider a loafer.

Good news for the athleisure lovers: With a sporty fabric, your clothes won't stick to you, and you'll be ready for a post-5 P.M. workout or long walk home thanks to your windbreaker dress.
