WFH has almost become a distant memory, as most of us are back in the office full-time. Making the transition even more difficult is the insufferable summer heat. The idea of getting to work and coming back from it without turning into a pool of sweat feels like participating in an intensive video game—where your only task is to not combust into flames.
Could you imagine dressing up to nines, only to wind up looking like a mess, even before you’ve had your morning coffee? The only solution is to strategically pick your outfits, specifically for this summer. Swap your denim jeans for linen pants and polyester dresses for cotton frocks and shirts for starters—in case you need more ideas, scroll down for our celeb-inspired summer-friendly work wear shoppable list.
