Summer Workwear Ideas | Lane Crawford

What does summertime bring to the office? A sweaty commute, frigid air conditioning, and, oftentimes, sitting for most of the day. The answer to the endless question of “What to Wear to Work” should always strike the delicate balance between fashion-forward and perfectly professional.

It’s no secret that timeless tailoring essentials are crucial to summer workwear, whether they’re worn with pieces equally as polished or standalone alongside something slightly more casual.

Wondering how to prepare your summer work outfits for ease and appropriateness? Read on for some summer workwear styling inspirations below

An early summer styling tip? To make a white poplin skirt 9-to-5 ready, pair it with a cinched blazer vest - you’ll look stylish for meetings, and dinner post-work. Keep the whole look monochromatic by adding a pair of sleek black pointed-toe boots or heels, complemented by a chic clutch.

Summer Fridays are coming – so, what to wear to work? Carry the ease of the upcoming weekend with some touches of luxury athleisure. Team up a basic polo shirt and baseball cap with an earth-tone midi skirt, and jazz it up with a pair of ballet flats for extra comfort. Finally pack your lunch and all your daily essentials into a spacious handbag.

Owning one or two matching sets will prove to be a foolproof look for the workweek. Mix and match them or wear them together for a put-together outfit that requires little second thought. Inject some statement accessories like a pair of sunnies and a spacious handbag for the finishing touches. This approach ensures you always look impeccably put-together, no matter the occasion.

If bold prints and bright colours are a step too far, play it safe in a low-key white co-ord set. Consider adding a durable workwear ensemble to your collection of smart wardrobe investments - these are the pieces you’ll return to time and time again. Crack this one out for a guaranteed crowd pleaser.
