As the temperatures rise and fingers crossed stick around, dressing professionally while staying cool becomes a common challenge. This season, it's all about breathable fabrics, versatile pieces, and a touch of personal flair. Here's how to curate a summer wardrobe that's both polished and comfortable:
👚 1. Linen Blazers: The Ultimate Summer Layer
Linen blazers are a summer staple, offering structure without the weight. Opt for neutral tones like ivory or cream to maximize versatility.
👖 2. Wide-Leg Trousers: Breezy and Professional
Wide-leg trousers in lightweight fabrics like cotton or linen keep you cool and exude professionalism. Pair them with a fitted blouse or a tucked-in tee for a balanced silhouette.
👗 3. Structured Dresses: One-and-Done Elegance
A well-fitted dress simplifies your morning routine. Pick a block colour for that summer freshness I love the different styles that are out now and can be paired with a linen blazer to protect from the air conditioning!
🩴 4. Flat Strappy Sandals: Comfort Meets Style
Flat strappy sandals are both stylish and practical for the office. Choose designs in neutral colors to complement various outfits. These are my picks from my favorite shoe shop – Sheneil Shoes. They will take you right through the summer and go with everything.
👜 5. Accessories: The Finishing Touch
Elevate your outfits with thoughtful accessories. A statement necklace or a structured tote can add personality to your look without compromising professionalism. Jewelry is such a good way of adding your personality and giving some colour to an outfit. I am a sucker for a beautiful bag but I also need it to hold a lot of things so this tote from the Sparkle Atelier ticks all the boxes!
Body Confidence Affirmations
Body confidence affirmations are a game-changer when it comes to how we feel about ourselves. When we ditch the negative self-talk and start speaking to ourselves with kindness, everything shifts.
When we ditch the negative self-talk and start speaking to ourselves with kindness, everything shifts.Saying things like “My body is strong and carries me through life” or “I deserve to feel good in my skin” rewires our mindset, helping us focus on what our bodies do for us rather than how they look.
The more we affirm our worth, the more we believe it—boosting confidence, self-acceptance, and the way we show up in the world.
It’s all about owning it!
