Dressing professionally during a heat wave

As we’re approaching the peak of summer heat, it’s important to know how to stay cool and still dress professionally:

Dresses: Maxi dresses, linen dresses and tunic dresses are all great for staying cool and letting your legs breathe (just make sure they’re an appropriate length).

Culottes: These flowy bottoms are a nice change of pace from heavier pants and can be easily dressed up with heels, a professional top and some colorful jewelry.

Layers: Dressing for the heat is all fun and games until someone cranks the AC, so make sure you accessorize with a light blazer or cardigan.
