Summer at the office

What dress to wear? 5 simple tips

On sunny days, your mind is wandering. All you want to do is sip on an Instagrammable fruit smoothie in a bikini. But you have to go to work, and you have to get down to earth. Formal attire requires professionalism, but you also want to feel comfortable and not overly fussy. So what dress should you wear to the office this summer?

1. The most important thing is balance

Clothing is an important part of our work image. When it comes to summer office attire, it is important to find a balance between professionalism and comfort. Of course, it is impossible to ignore summer trends. After all, you want to dress up in a shorter dress and expose your legs. Of course, you can wear a short dress to the office, but you should pay attention to making it look businesslike enough. Follow a few simple rules. If the garment is made of colorful fabric, bright colors, let it be of a classic, uncomplicated cut. If you choose a short dress to the knees or slightly shorter, its length will be balanced by a monochrome or solid patterned fabric, in classic colors. If you are exposing your legs, give up a deep neckline. In the CUT MY FASHION assortment you will find khaki and gray straight-cut dresses , which will ideally fit into your summer wardrobe. These dresses are not only very comfortable, but also provide a multitude of combination options. Do you like minimalism? The modern cut of the dress will look stylish on its own, so you won't have to worry too much about combinations. If you want a brighter look, you can easily match a variety of accessories to the dress. For example, pearl-decorated hairpins or a headband will add a stylish accent — you'll definitely shine !

 2. No compromises on comfort!

In the summer, give preference to looser clothes. This is a well-known rule, but it is definitely worth your attention. After all, in the summer, you least want to compromise between comfort and beauty — there are much more pleasant activities, right? Loose, free-cut dresses are one of the best choices. If you still want to highlight your figure, buy a dress that is tied at the waist or gathered. Dresses with a slightly tight upper part and a loose fabric from the waist are perfect for the warm season. This will give you the feeling of unrestrained freedom and comfort that you so want in the summer. As the cherry on the cake — a dark blue dress with pockets from the Lithuanian brand CUT MY FASHION , which is another proof that it is possible to combine comfortable solutions and elegance in style !

  3. Choose wrinkle-resistant fabrics

No matter what the weather is outside, in a formal environment you want to look neat and professional. Of course, this depends on each company, but often it is not only desired, but also required. A clear silhouette and strong seams are the ideal dress for work . For the summer, choose thinner fabrics, but it is important that they do not wrinkle. Linen and other natural fabrics often win all the laurels as the best material for hot days. However, in a formal environment, this is not the most suitable choice. Linen clothes wrinkle very easily, so there is a risk of looking untidy and unaesthetic even before the working day is over. For the warm season, choose dresses made of high-quality fabric that contains both natural and artificial fibers. Such dresses feel pleasant on the naked body, do not cause allergies to the skin, but at the same time ideally keep their shape and do not wrinkle.

  4. Don't forget the sleeves

Leave the beach style and straps for your leisure time. The established rules of business attire etiquette dictate that you should cover your armpits in a formal setting. So don't forget about sleeves, even if they are minimal. If you still want to wear sleeveless blouses or dresses, use a little trick - wear a thin sweater or jacket in the office.

  5. Don't freeze

It sounds paradoxical, but it's no secret that it's possible to catch a cold even in summer. Although the sun is baking outside, the air conditioner in the office, which constantly cools the air, is a cunning device. When you come to a cool office with a short-sleeved dress, you will feel refreshed, but after a while you may not even notice how cold you are. Therefore, have a jacket or cardigan at work and, if necessary, wear layers of clothes. On cooler summer days, it's worth remembering your favorite clothes from other seasons. The CUT MY FASHION dress, lovingly sewn in Lithuania , with a slightly raised neck and three-quarter sleeves, will be perfect for a trip to the office when the winds are howling and the temperature is not at all reminiscent of summer weather. However, the fairly thin fabric and loose model of the dress will make you feel comfortable and will not restrict your movements.
