Looking for some simple ways to dress stylish around the office this summer? Here are some tips that will help you to impress the boss while looking like the fashion guru at the workplace:
The Suit: If it is too hot for dark colors, try a seersucker suit. A multed gray and white version is a great option and you can pair the blazer with jeans, with or without a tie. A white or black shirt goes well with the seersucker. Juicy Couture, Thom Browne and Helmut Lang have great styles.
The Tie: Slim cotton ties go well with a white Oxford cloth shirt. Aim for a lighter colors like beige, gray and brown. Check out Tom Ford for a variety.
Khakis: Stay away from baggy, saggy or pleated khakis. A trim look will make you look slimmer and prevent uncomfortable sweating as humidity rises in the city. Look for DKNY and American Eagle .
The Polo: The classic polo should be slim enough that you can wear it under a blazer and still loose enough for the summer heat. Brands like Ralph Lauren and Lacoste are perfect for casual Friday’s at the office.
Shades: Charcoal-tinted sunglasses provide the most protection against brightness and they go well with a gray, navy and khaki suit. Avoid looking like “men in black” and leave the color-tinted glasses at home. Try Rayban’s classic aviator and wayfares.
Bright summer colors and different business casual styles available at budget retailers like H&M and Banana Republic are always a big hit as well!
