What to Wear to the Office in the Summer?

By Elma B.

Summer brings us joy for many reasons: the sunshine, the warm weather, vacation and brighter and lighter clothes. With that said, many women stumble on what to wear to the office or meetings in the summer. The gray, black and brown colors just do not do it for the summer ladies! Also, remember when distinguishes summer versus winter wardrobe is the thickness of materials, i.e. it will be very risque to pull of a winter piece (e.g., a thick tweed blazer) with your summer wardrobe.... 

The main question: how to look professional, stylish/not outdated, and not boring? 

Here are some tips on your wardrobe choices:

1. Colored Pants (or colored jeans on Fridays).
