WORKING WARDROBE
Blog by The Mailbox
Summer has landed and corporate attire often leaves workers feeling hot under the collar. Clearly struggling with the morning commute, it seems our working wardrobe is dominated by stuffy suits and choking necklines.
However, business fashions are an integral part of daily life and dressing appropriately for a day in the city heat is no easy task. So at The Mailbox, we’ve come up with some summer-friendly office attire that won’t upset the boss.
1: Say goodbye to your jaded trench coat, a casual mac is key to covering up this Summer. Jésire and Emporio Armani have an impressive range of blazers and jackets that will keep you looking smart yet cool.
2: Free your feet with cool sandals or flat pumps. Daniel Footwear has great Summer footwear that’s ideal for sunny days, without exposing too much flesh.
3: Ladies, leave the sun dresses for the beach. Shift dresses are far more elegant and appropriate for the workplace. Jaeger and Olivier Strelli have some great dresses, ideal for the office or for after-work drinks.
4: Breathe new life into your Winter staples with a splash of colour. Black trousers teamed with bold brights will instantly enliven your look. Thomas Pink’s Summer collection is brimming with chic shirts and blouses.
5: As temperatures rise, don’t let necklines drop. A cute cardigan is the perfect way to keep covered yet remain super cool. Fat Face and Jaeger have everything from stripy shrugs to fine knits.
Well I have bought some Gladiator sandles from HN, they are great but where is the sun? I have also bought some flip-flops (brown leather from armani). Wish I could wear them. Please bring the sun…..
Emporio Armani always has good stock to give local fashionistas style.you should check out the Autumn/Winter collection there!!!!
