The heat is on, it’s June the sun is out and the temperature is generally hot. This is great news if you are on holiday but what does it mean if you have to stay in the office?
How can you wear summer clothes appropriately and still convey professionalism?
Gentleman first:-
• Swap long sleeved shirts for short sleeves.
• Drop the colour of your suit (if you wear one), or trousers several shades to a lighter one, even if you currently wear navy, drop the shade down at least two bars.
• Check the labels of the fabrics you are wearing, if there is more than 50% synthetic fibres consider ditching them. They will just make you feel hotter rather than natural fibres which will make you feel cooler.
Ladies Next:
• In a formal business environment it is okay to show your toe nails but not your heels at the same time and vice versa.
• Look in the mirror and check the amount of flesh on show, this includes arms, cleavage and legs. More than 30 % is a bit too much, and results in you look as if you are heading off to the beach before you finish your working day.
• Check the fabrics that you are wearing are more light weight than the ones you were wearing all through the winter.
And finally,
Enjoy the sunshine, even if you do have to wait until the weekend!
