In this sizzling hot weather, if it was up to us, we would be going to the office every day in our pajamas, shorts & tank tops. But, unfortunately, dress codes! In that case, what to wear? The forever tiring question is back. Thus, this is your go-to-guide for the summer workwear outfits that will help you beat the heat this summer and look trendy enough in your comfortable outfits! It's a win-win situation by all means.

 

1. Ditch The Pants

Ditch those tight fit pants & skinny jeans for cool and flowy palazzo & wide-leg pants. Further, accessorize your outfit for a more dressy look with a belt. The outfit has such a sweet, romantic almost vintage look to it. The openness of the wide legs with full coverage is the perfect solution.

 

2. Crop It With Culottes

For god's sake, just give your legs a chance to breathe. Opt for culottes or in layman's language wide-legged cropped pants and the rest of it will be taken care of by the natural process of ventilation giving you way more movement and comfort! It's such a subtle way to bring high fashion into your work wardrobe.

3. Cover It In Style

Wear your tank tops and strap tops under a drapy trench coat/ structured cardigan/ monotone shrugs that looks professional and not dressy & enjoy not having a long day of non-sticky clothes clung to you in all places. 

 

4. I'll Say It Again, Ditch The Pants!

This season, below knee length dresses & skirts are very much in trend. So, go with full length or 3-4th length skirts in whatever print & color you like and play mix-and-match howsoever you like! Ditch the pencil skirts if bored of with knee-length midi skirts. Pair your skirts with a loose fitting thin top for a comfort from top to bottom.

5. Feminine And Functional

For a more casual and professional approach, go for shirt dresses. They are not too form flattering but still gives you the look you need. Once again, go for this season's trend with long length dresses instead of short.

 

6. Gone Are The Days of Plain

Gone are the days of plain pants and jeans. Wear high waisted form-fitting striped pants which are super in trend this season with a basic white top and see the fashion quotient go up and only up!

7. Change The Regular Norms

Drop those boring chooridars and leggings for loose and flowy palazzos & dhoti pants with your long and short kurtas for a more movement friendly and comfortable work day in these hot summers.

8. Leave The Pants At Home (LITERALLY!)

Opt for long flowy A-Line kurtas with comfortable flats, a high top bun and no lower apparel at all. What can be more comfortable than that? I'll wait for you to come up with something.

10. Mix-And-Match The Uncommon

Instead of those tight fit jeans, you dread to wear but are at lack of any other options available, pair your oversized graphic t-shirts with cool and baggy joggers or wide trousers and cigarette pants. It would make you beat the heat as well as survive that long office day in the most comfortable manner possible!
