10 Ways to Bring Summer Fashion Into Your Office Wardrobe

Office jobs can really dampen the fun of summer fashion. You want to dress for the season, but you also don’t want to get a dress code complaint from HR… If this sounds like a struggle you’re facing, you’re not alone. We’ve got 10 ways you can bring summer fashion into that business casual wardrobe.

Midi Skirt

Skirts have always reminded me of summer, but denim ones aren’t exactly “office friendly.” Instead, opt for a longer hemline and different fabric! Midi skirts hit below the knee so they’re office appropriate. Look for some in cotton or rayon for a skirt that flows and moves with you!

Leopard Print Flats

I could go on and on about animal print, but I’m sure you already know it’s the latest trend to hit store shelves. However, most of us can’t wear a leopard print top to work. If you’re down for the animal print, try them on a pair of flats for the work day! They add a fun look to any blazer-and-pants combo.

Striped Tops

Give off all the nautical vibes by rocking a striped top to work. Whether it’s a button up or a loose blouse, there are a variety of ways you can wear this pattern. A striped top with lighter colors like white, light blue, or yellow will definitely add a perfect touch of summer into your office.

Neon Accessories

Neon during the summer is a must. Like animal print, it can be a bit too loud to wear as a top so we have to find other ways to incorporate it. You can rock a pair of neon shoes, but something more subtle would be a pair of earrings or a fun belt! This adds a pop of color that your coworkers will definitely appreciate under the fluorescents.

Colored Pants

Colored pants are probably one of the easier ways to bring a little summer fashion to your office wardrobe. You don’t have to worry about it being too short and there are plenty of ways to style a pair of pants. Pick out lighter (and office appropriate) colors like light pink or a pale green for the perfect summer vibe.

Chambray Dress

Chambray is such a summer material for me, I can’t even consider wearing during colder seasons. A chambray dress (at the appropriate length!) would a fun way to bring incorporate some summer trends into your office wardrobe. It’s lightweight and fun and easy to accessorize! You can rock your leopard print flats or even some neon earrings!

Copy this look:

Light Colored Blazers

You probably already have a dark blue and black blazer so it’s time to mix it up! Shop around for a pink, beige, or light blue blazer to rock during the warmer months! Bright and light colors always signify the summer months so it’s time to pack up those black blazers for a few months.

Jumpsuit

I’ve seen the jumpsuits on sale for brands’s summer collections; you’re going to want to wear one to the office. Find a jumpsuit with an appropriate color, print, and material and you’re all get! You can pair with that light colored blazer or those leopard prints for the cutest summer outfit your coworkers will see!

Copy this look:

Floral/Tropical Print

You can’t go wrong here. These two prints are everywhere for summer so there are plenty of ways you can rock one in the office! As a button up or as a midi skirt, wearing floral or tropical print into the office is such a fun way to add summer fashion into your wardrobe!

Copy this look:

White

I wasn’t sure how to headline this because anything white would be perfect to add a touch of summer into your office wardrobe. A white blouse, blazer, trousers, flats, and even white accessories will transform any outfit into one with all the summer vibes. Pair a white button up with a midi skirt for an outfit you can rock to work than to Happy Hour at the cantina!
