Hi besties! It’s Hot Girl Summer…but you still got to go into the office 😫 You know the struggle – hot, sweaty commutes followed by freezing AC once you arrive. Figuring out what to wear shouldn’t be another stress on busy mornings so I’ve put together a guide to summer workwear that actually works. I’ll share lightweight linen and cotton outfits that keep you cool outside but still polished for the office + practical tips and tricks I learned from my time working in-office to survive those hot summer days. Think chic, comfortable, and effortless looks you can wear all season long! Be that office baddie that survives hot commutes & freezing offices. My top three brand recommendations are OGL, Quince, and Aritzia. Not only do they offer high-quality fabrics but their pieces are consistently in stock and available year-round, making them reliable go-to brands for building a versatile, long-lasting wardrobe.
🥵 7 TIPS TO SURVIVE HOT COMMUTES & FREEZING OFFICES 🥶
- Layer smart
Start with a lightweight, breathable base like a tank or t-shirt, then add a light cardigan or blazer for the office. This makes it easy to adjust between hot outdoor temperatures and cold indoor air conditioning. - Choose breathable fabrics
Opt for materials like cotton and linen to stay cool and comfortable during your commute, especially on hot summer days. - Keep essentials at work
Leave a pair of flats or an extra cardigan/blazer at your desk or locker so you don’t have to carry additional layers back and forth. - Change at the office
Arrive 10 minutes early to change out of your commute outfit into your workwear and freshen up before starting your day. - Wear commute-friendly shoes
Choose comfortable shoes for your commute, then switch into more polished footwear at the office. Flats are an easy and practical option to bring along. - Bring cooling essentials
Pack a fan for your commutes and body wipes to help you stay fresh before, during, or after work.
