5 summery, anti-heat office looks with light, smart garments

Summer is synonymous with light-heartedness and carefreeness, holidays by the sea and trips to the mountains, beaches, parties and events. But what about those who are forced to spend it in the city for work? It is a question of habits and duties, that is clear, but also of survival. And it is better to do it, survive we mean, in a glamorous way with the right summer looks, anti-heat, light and smart.

It is not easy, this is clear, to find the right balance between comfort, coolness and cosiness when temperatures exceed thirty degrees. But the good news is that there is no need to renounce style, let alone suffer the heat, by choosing the right clothes.

The advice? Go for cool fabrics, strategic cuts and bright colours to create perfect looks even when the thermometer rises. We have identified 5 summer looks, combining practicality and style, to wear at work and in the office.

Baggy trousers and cotton blouse

Wide trousers are a valuable ally in summer: elegant, comfortable, never too tight and perfect for letting your skin breathe. Opt for linen or cotton models, with a palazzo or culotte cut, and pair them with a light blouse, also in cotton or viscose, preferably in a light or pastel shade.

You can complete the look with a flat slipper or a low-heeled sandal and a tote bag. A perfect professional but not stiff look for work and for drinks with colleagues at the end of the day.

Sleeveless midi dress with light blazer

Summer is the season for fluttery dresses and midi dresses are perfect for the office too. They are cool, elegant and refined and, on their own, complete the whole look. Opt for flowing fabrics and light colours, preferably plain or with a discreet print. Also carry a light blazer, in cotton or linen, to wear to the office and meetings. On your feet, low-heeled sandals or slingbacks.

Midi skirt and white t-shirt

If you are looking for a chic but relaxed look for days at the office, then we recommend the summer midi skirts. Among our favourites are full skirts, pleated skirts and straight-cut skirts. Matching them is easy: a basic white t-shirt, trainers or sabots are all you need for a casual look for the office and for leisure.

Jumpsuit

The popular jumpsuit is the smart garment to wear from morning to night, and for every occasion. In summer, then, it can single-handedly solve every fashion drama. In plain colours - in sand, light blue or olive green - it is elegant and professional. All you need to do is add a shoulder bag and refined accessories for a passe-partout look.

Light-coloured jeans and a flowing or oversize shirt

If the work environment is informal, and all you want is comfort, opt for a great classic: light-coloured jeans paired with a flowing or oversized shirt, preferably in satin, linen or cotton. You can tuck it into your jeans or leave it loose at the hips. On the feet, low sandals or mule shoes.
