How to Transition Your Work Wardrobe for Summer

The weather is turning and so is your head toward key pieces for summer. Dressing in summer is more laid-back. Less austere. Which means it's time to ditch the black turtlenecks and leather jackets, but hold onto those black ripped jeans and bodysuits. You want office outfits that are comfortable, don't require extra AC, and have a casual Friday vibe to them, even on Mondays.  

From adding in pastels and other light colors to the shoe-of-the-moment open back mule (backless is better!), there are easy ways to give your closet a minor update that don't break the bank. We're rounding up key pieces to add to your work wardrobe from TOPSHOP. 

PULL OFF THE PASTEL

Fitted Suit Trousers. MOTO Denim Stripe Crop Top. Soft Tailored Jacket. KYLIE Backless Mule. 

OFF-THE-SHOULDER IS OF THE MOMENT

To make the transition to summer brighten up the colors of your typical work wardrobe. From pastel pink off-the-shoulder tops and blue jeans with embroidered detailing to a stacked, lace-up neutral heel. Summer workdrobes are a bit more playful.

LIGHTWEIGHT DUSTER IS A MUST-ER

The coat of summer, a lightweight duster has serious Great Gatsby '20s chicness and is the simplest way to dress up a pair of jeans. Plus you can thank the wardrobe gods that comfortable shoes are still being favored over stilettos. Slip on a pair of pink mules and give your toes a peak at sunshine.
