What Should I Wear to Look Professional?
Don’t think cute professional outfits for summer can be fun and stylish? Think again. Most work clothes are too hot for summer. There’s a lot of layering, tight pants, structured jackets, and dark colors.
How do you transition your work wardrobe to summer? Just skip a few unnecessary layers, pick lighter and brighter colors, and rock looser fabrics and silhouettes.
We all love a cute floral print or a luxurious silk shirt. Keep scrolling to see how.
1. Culottes
I’m so glad culottes are back in style, because they’re definitely go-to pieces for cute professional outfits this summer! Not only are they stylish, but they’ll also keep you cool all summer long.
2. The Little Black Dress
Every girl owns at least one little black dress, simply because it’s so versatile. The versatility of an LBD extends to professional outfits for summer, too. Pick one in a lighter fabric, that way you can wear long sleeves to work despite the scorching heat.
3. Black And White
Regardless of which pieces you wear, black and white is a timeless and office-appropriate color palette that works for any season.
Tip: For summer, experiment with crop tops and flowing skirts.
4. Pastel Colors
You’re not limited to neutrals when it comes to cute professional outfits for this summer. Try pastel colors like blush pink or even this year’s Pantone colors.
5. Silk Shirts
Silk shirts are must-haves for your cute professional outfits. They’re lightweight so you’ll stay cool, but they’re dressy enough to wear to the office. Pair it with loose pants and a cute bag, and you’re good to go.
6. Pops of Color
This season is all about bright pops of color, so incorporate that into your cute professional outfits this summer as well!
