With temperatures rising and the (possible) chill of indoor air conditioning, it’s time once again to reassess our work wardrobe. Looking professionally stylish while keeping cool is top on our list. While we may be tempted to be more casual on those really hot days it’s important to remember that looking professional is a business asset no matter the weather. I’ve pulled together two inspiring looks that will have you looking terrific from 9 to 5!
Color:
Adding a shot of color can freshen and amp up any basic neutral. This sunny, yellow twinset will allow you to go sans the sweater for those really hot days and know that the cardigan will keep the chill off your shoulders when you’re indoors. The color can come from your wardrobe pieces or simply by adding bright hues with your accessories.

Black and White:
This summer black and white are anything but basic. A classic trend with the combination of black and white will increase your charm in this hot season. Thanks to comfortable and creative designs, these opposite colors are chosen by many as a staple and can ultimately be worn year round.
