Warm and humid days can make dressing up for the office pretty challenging. While you want to be comfy, it's also important that you still look polished and professional. Here are some business casual summer outfit ideas to keep you cool and stylish while still hitting those quotas.
Linen Love
Linen is a staple summer fabric that can be reworked throughout the year. It’s lightweight so your skin can breathe but still looks chic and put together. For a polished look, add a belt to a loose-fitting linen frock and pair with a statement bucket bag. This summer midi dress style can easily go from the office to a brunch appointment with clients.

Tailored Shorts
Who says you can’t wear shorts to the office? A tailored pair of Bermuda shorts evokes modern confidence, plus you can show off your summer-ready legs! Finish your look with a classic black tote bag to elevate your summer style.

Pastel Play
If you are up for a serving of colors, engage in some pastel play. Pastel tones are perfect if you don’t want to be too loud but still want to brighten up your wardrobe. Go for a pastel pantsuit or pastel dress for a low-key boss approach and accessorize with a clutch bag or tote bag that balances the colors of your outfit.
