Suits, shorts, sandals: The low-down on ‘correct’ summer office attire
Consider what people think of as office dress standards during January, and you’ll likely observe some interesting interpretations. There are the people in suits who are happy sweating if it means they don’t need to attempt “smart casual” each morning, to those who think that working through summer is a licence to wear shorts and thongs to the office. Neither are entirely correct nor incorrect.
Monique Santos, head of brand at Scanlan Theodore, says regardless of workplace, dressing for the heat requires “effortless silhouettes”. Leave bodycon for swimwear and instead choose natural fibres, such as linen, cotton and silk. As Sylvie Grateau’s character inproves, a silk blouse can prove invaluable when you want to stay cool but don’t want to show too much flesh .
Men who choose to wear shorts are encouraged to seek out drill styles with some kind of hardware or dressier buttons, to distinguish them from styles one would wear to the beach. And I’ll repeat some advice a stylist gave me a few years ago: choose one aspect of the outfit to make casual and dress up the rest. So shorts with a shirt, or chinos with a polo or T-shirt, but never shorts and a T-shirt together.
Ditch the dress shirt for another few weeks with lightweight alternatives by Jac & Jack, Christian Kimber and Country Road. She also loves the current, and very Parisian, look of a matched waistcoat and pants, “but if this is something you’re opting for, keep in mind that it’s best worn as a set, waistcoats can at times be tricky to pair with other items in your wardrobe”.DO: Wear shorts, but only if you can maintain polish with a tailored shirt and closed shoe. If you have to ask “do I look like I’m going to the beach”, then you’ve probably missed the mark.
