Summer office wear can be challenging, but choosing the right outfits can make workdays more comfortable and stylish. Here are five essential summer office outfits for every scenario.
Five Summer Office Staples
- The Hardy OCBD: Drake's Button-Down Collar Striped Cotton Shirt, available for $425 at Mr Porter.

The Client Lunch
When meeting clients, balance smartness and relaxation. A breathable blend jacket in linen or wool, paired with jeans or chinos, is ideal. Consider Polo Ralph Lauren’s Houndstooth Linen-Blend Blazer for $500.
The Casual Friday Classic
Skip the shorts on casual Fridays. Opt for a structured t-shirt, like Lemaire’s Cotton Jersey T-Shirt for $365, combined with pleated pants and sneakers or slippers.
The First Day Formalities
Avoid being overdressed or too casual on your first day. A smart pair of sneakers and a lightweight jacket can be versatile. Consider Maison Margiela’s Replica Suede-Trimmed Leather Sneakers for $940.
The Performance Review
Dress sharp for performance reviews. An unstructured cotton jacket, like De Bonne Facture’s Traveler Cotton-Twill Suit Jacket for $710, conveys professionalism without overheating.
