Summer Office Outfit Ideas
We know—it’s not always easy to dress cool and corporate. Finding outfits that strike the perfect balance between stylish and office-appropriate can feel like a challenge, especially when the warmer months call for lighter fabrics and breathable designs. Add in the need for versatility—outfits that move seamlessly from desk to dinner—and the stakes feel even higher.
Not to worry, we’ve done the hard work for you! Our curated summer office outfits are here to make getting dressed effortless. Think polished, practical pieces that keep you looking sharp from desk to dinner, all while staying comfortable in the heat. Here are our top picks to elevate your workwear collection this season.
1. Lightweight Blouses & Dress Pants
Start with the basics: if you’re not sure where to begin, focus on timeless pieces that work all year round. Lightweight blouses and dress pants made from fabrics like linen, cotton, or soft blends are a great place to start—they’ll keep you cool while still looking polished.
Add a pair of loafers or kitten heels for that perfect balance of relaxed + refined, and finish with a structured tote or crossbody bag to pull everything together. With these essentials, building a stylish summer work wardrobe is easy.
Our Pick: Check out our Luxe Linen Edit and Wear To Work Edit to find pieces perfectly suited to summer workdays.
2. The Shirtdress
When you want a contemporary cut with minimal effort, a shirtdress is your best friend. Well-crafted and easy to wear, they make for an all-in-one outfit that works for meetings, client lunches, or after-work drinks.
The shirtdress is a summer essential thanks to its incredible versatility. Layer it with a blazer for a more formal feel, cinch it at the waist with a belt to highlight your silhouette, or leave it undone with knee-high boots for a cool, effortless finish. It’s the perfect choice for anyone seeking an elegant yet relaxed workwear look.
Our Pick: We are loving styles from Among The Brave and Stories be Told.
3. Classic Maxi Skirt & T-Shirt
For a minimalist look that still feels fresh and summery, pair a classic maxi skirt with a tucked-in t-shirt. It’s got that perfect “just threw this on” vibe while still looking totally put-together. Complete the look with slides or a heels.
The best part? This outfit works anywhere. From desk to dinner, or wherever your day takes you, it’s the ultimate no-fuss, always-stylish combo. Easy, versatile, and so summer. What’s not to love?
Our Pick: Ivy + Jack, By Rosa, Among The Brave and Re:Union all have amazing styles to choose from.
4. Vest & Dress Pants Combo
A vest and dress-pant set is the ultimate power pairing for summer—a look that’s cool, structured, and versatile. When choosing a set, focus on high-quality fabrics that feel light and breathable, ensuring comfort throughout the day. Opt for timeless silhouettes with thoughtful, feminine details like subtle tailoring, delicate trims, or unique button accents to elevate the look further.
Our Pick: Head straight to our Wear To Work Edit and Wardrobe Foundations Edit for amazing options that are easy to mix and match.
5. Classic Summer Dresses
You can’t go wrong with a versatile summer dress for the office. When choosing your ideal dress, focus on styles that offer a flattering fit that complements your shape without feeling restrictive.
On its own, it’s a simple yet chic solution for the office, but it can easily be layered with a lightweight blazer or cardigan for those overly air-conditioned meeting rooms or cooler mornings.
Our Pick: Our Holiday Edit has everything you need.
