Wear this to Work Tomorrow: Office-Appropriate Summer Dress

summer dress work outfit

Happy Wear to Work Wednesday!

So one workwear dilemma that can come up as the temps rise is finding a dress that 1. won’t get you a dress code violation 2. won’t feel stuffy when you’re out in the humidity but also won’t make you an icicle under the office AC and 3. is cute as all get out.

Some company dress codes tend to lean more casual during the summer, but you don’t want to look too casual. Look for dresses that have some structure and of course that reach a work-appropriate length. You also of course don’t want it to be made of any see-through fabrics. Don’t rule out a blazer—in *some* cases layering one on top can let you get away with some pieces that wouldn’t work on their own.

P.S. Brands like Nubian Skin make skin tone pantyhose for darker complexions if you can’t go bare-legged in your office. Nubian Skin is also sold at retailers like ASOS and Nordstrom. Find out which shade you’d wear here.
