Breezy summer looks you can wear to work

Suits are a year-round office staple, but in warmer months, choose one in a light color like cream or khaki and in a breezy fabric like linen or silk. A slim, tailored fit with a belted waist will suggest an even more polished look and flatter your figure.

Let a structured shirtdress be your workweek go-to. A solid color can be easily accessorized with different shoes, belts or jewelry to create ever-changing looks.

Try one of this season's hottest trends with a lace pencil skirt. A pop of color combined with a modern pattern will keep this look fresh.

An A-line skirt is a flattering wardrobe staple. Dress yours up with a blouse and heels or down with a T-shirt, lightweight cardigan and ballet flats.

Take your LBD for a spin at the office. A subtle pattern like lace or Swiss dots will earn you style points.

Transparent fabrics can take you from 9 to 5, as long as you stick to tailored pieces—like a ladylike button-down.

A pair of luxe trousers offer a strong silhouette and pair easily with a variety of tops. Go for an ankle-grazing length to keep the look current.

A printed dress, blouse or skirt will refresh your office look. Try a simple flora or fauna motif for a work-worthy outfit.

You can wear a pantsuit together or as separates, upping the versatility factor. For a truly striking look, try it in a subtly printed pattern or a nontraditional fabric like silk.

A tailored shift dress with a retro flair is a ladylike office option. Choose a color that complements your skin tone, and accessorize with simple shoes and jewelry.

Make shimmery fabrics daytime-appropriate by pairing a single shiny piece with an otherwise subdued outfit.
