Summer Office Style

If you're going sleeveless, we suggest an elegant high-neck silhouette. Tuck it into bow-embellished culottes and opt for ankle-strap sandals with a block heel. Accessorize with a timeless gold watch and structured bucket bag.

Elevate a billowy peasant blouse with a wrap pencil skirt. A leather top-handle bag lends polish, while flat mules offer comfort. Throw on small hoop earrings for a touch of glam.

Trade in your basic black pantsuit for an eye-catching floral that's both playful and professional. Temper the ensemble with nude pointed-toe pumps and a sleek carryall. Abstract statement earrings provide of-the-moment polish.
