The weather is getting warmer, and your wardrobe is only ready for the winter. Although your office may be air-conditioned, outside most definitely is not. Summer does not necessarily mean vacation; it just means warmer weather and a change in attire. Stick with us and let’s discover your summer style. Why separate work and play when we can combine the two in summer fashion?
With summer, there comes unpredictable weather. Some days may be rainy and a little chilly while some are sunny with no clouds in sight. Whatever the case may be, it is important to be prepared for any weather. Starting with a solid mesh hooded jacket, one can be ready. As it is lightweight, water resistant and easily compacted, one can wear it on chillier rainy days or pack it in one’s work bag to make room for possibility of different weather.
As versatile as a jacket is, pants can be just as versatile. It is so important to have a ready-to-wear go-to pair of pants in the closet. Working in the summer does not have to be uncomfortable. 5-pocket pants are just the pants one needs to stay comfortable and cool. The lightweight cotton can be paired with virtually any work-appropriate shirt and shoes. The large number of pockets makes it easy to carry small items when carrying a bag just does not seem feasible in the warm weather.
To bring in the warm, sunny weather, one must truly welcome equally bright hues. Wearing plain lifeless colors will simply not celebrate summer but wish it away. By wearing patterned plaid ties and bright-colored textured ties, summer feels extra warm. Bright, vibrant colors bring life to work outfits. On days where a tie is necessary, it’s no fun being boring, so let’s spice things up! Paired with a performance dress shirt, it is easy to look both professional and summer-ready with these ties.
Speaking of performance dress shirts, they are vital for a summer wardrobe. The lightweight cool fabric will keep air flowing in and out throughout the day and you will not feel like you are wearing a long sleeve shirt. Not only are they lightweight, but they also keep you cool and unrestricted in movement, with their moisture-wicking properties and four-way stretch fabric design. One should have a few different performance dress shirt colors and designs to switch up your look each day.
On days when it is simply too difficult to fathom the idea of wearing a long sleeve, a short sleeve is a must in the closet. Four-way stretch fabric short sleeves do not replace a t-shirt nor a long sleeve, but represent a unique style, having a perfect combination of professional and casual. You’ll be glad you have this shirt. For 24 hours, from June 21 at 11 am EST until June 22 at 11 am EST, W.R.K is running a flash summer sale where you can purchase any of our short sleeve button-up shirts for $50 with code SUMMER22.
Let’s face it - summer creeps up on us a lot faster than we think it will. Oh, wasn’t it just winter yesterday? It’s such a common feeling because we don’t anticipate the weather changing so quickly. The 5 items above are not only necessary for the summer but will make you relieved when you realize you own them. Summer should be a time of excitement and enjoyment so let’s start with the good stuff - clothing.
