Short sleeve button up + midi skirt

A button up is a staple in every working girl's wardrobe. On hot summer days, go for the short sleeve button up and pair it with a pleated midi skirt.

Button up + denim skirt

If your workplace is casual enough to allow denim, why not opt for a denim pencil skirt and dress it up with a button up shirt?

Blazer + tank top + trousers

A lightweight blazer is a summer layering essential. Wear a tank top underneath your blazer and pair it with slim trousers for the office.

Blazer + tank top + pencil skirt

Whether you're wearing a skirt suit or separates, a blazer, tank top, and skirt is a fail-safe summer combination for the office.

Button up + wide leg pants

Billowy silhouettes are great in summer. Wide leg trousers are both office-appropriate and ideal for air circulation.

Button up + tapered pants

Go for a tonal look in a button up and tapered pants in similar shades or spice things up by opting for clashing colors.

Off shoulder top + long skirt

We couldn't but include one of the biggest trends of Summer 2017, the off-shoulder top. Now if you work in an office with a strict dress code, the off-shoulder neckline surely won't fly. However, if you work in a casual environment, the off-shoulder top is great for the summer. Smarten it up with a pleated or tube skirt that hits below the knee.

Off shoulder top + wide leg pants

Another way to dress up the off-shoulder top for the office is to team it with loose-fitting pants or culottes.

Off shoulder top + skinny pants or jeans

An off-shoulder blouse and skinny pants or jeans is a great summer combination for a casual office.

Jumpsuit + blazer

The right jumpsuit can very well become your workwear essential. Consider a jumpsuit with a lapel front (like this one from Asos or this Norma Kamali one), which is both chic and office-appropriate. For summer weekdays, go for a jumpsuit that's short-sleeved or sleeveless but with wide straps. And when your jumpsuit reveals a little more than it should, you can always throw on a blazer.
