When it comes to dressing for the office, it’s easy to get stuck in a routine of wearing variations of the same thing. When we see the same people time and time again, we sometimes fall into the trap of thinking “why do I need to dress up to impress my coworkers?” But summer is almost here, and if that’s not cause for a shakeup, we don’t know what is. It’s time to pack away that basic uniform of navy blazers and pinstriped button downs, and start experimenting with your own style. Instead of getting lost in a Pinterest spiral looking for outfit ideas, we’ve rounded up 12 easy and cute work outfits to try, perfect for any office dress code.

Work Outfits that Fit this Office Dress Code: Professional

Key Pieces: Tailored Dresses, Light Summer Separates, and Conscientious Clashing

Sometimes restriction can be the best inspiration. For a work outfit that is totally forgiving in the summer heat (and the freezing air conditioning), opt for a tailored dress that cuts below the knee, refined accessories like a luxurious leather tote for your laptop, and a light cardigan. Flowy separates welcome a breeze to keep you cool and feminine, while geometric jewelry shows that you mean business. Play up a conservative silhouette with artfully combined bright colors to make a powerful statement.

Key Pieces: Not-Quite Suits, Layered Dresses, and Playful Pencil Skirts

With summer fast approaching, it’s understandable to wonder whether shorts are workplace-appropriate. Layer a long vest over a pair of formal shorts and top the look off with a lightweight patterned blouse. Make a weekend slip dress office-ready by layering it over a patterned blouse for a fun, slightly more-modest look. To update an office staple for summer, find a pencil skirt in a fun colorway and pair it with lightweight poplin for a casual work outfit that’s breathable and fashion-forward.
