So Haute: How to look professional but keep cool (literally).

“Hot time, Summer in the city!”

Are you feeling this heat wave like we are?! We’ve got some advice that will keep you feelin’ pretty 😉

When it comes to keeping cool at the office, our advice is pretty simple, opt for fabrications that are breathable, light, and comfortable for this summertime weather while at the office or in-transit to and from work!

Cotton

Because of it’s natural fibers, cotton allows more air to circulate through the fabric, offering a more breathable choice than polyester fabric or silk.

Top

We love this cotton woven tunic paired with a tailored ankle pant and loafer slides. Cool as a cucumber.

Pant

A cotton-blend pant like these will provide comfort and breathability now, but can also transition easily to Fall and Spring.

Pencil Skirt

Nothing will keep you cool like a cotton pencil skirt in the hot summer months! Pair it with a tucked-in sleeveless, feminine blouse and tailored suit jacket to keep your look uber professional; or try a loose, flowing blouse worn out, layered with a lightweight hi-lo sweater for a cool, summer-chic option.

Linen

Otherwise known as THE fabric of Summer, the natural fibers found in linen are from the flax plant and allow for maximum breathability and comfort!

Jacket

Wear it with a cotton blouse and great pencil skirt for a polished look.

A-line Skirt

Already cooling based on it’s blend of cotton and linen, this skirt has a bonus feature…it’s open a-line shape allows more air to circulate, so you’ll look AND feel fresh.

Cardigan

Worn over an all-white look (pencil skirt or pencil pant) you’ll be looking sophisticated, chic, and cool (literally).

Shoes

Open-toe

Don’t sacrifice style for comfort. These peep-toe wedges will keep your toes free and the heat in your feet at a minimum.

Slides

The It Shoe of the moment also has its perks! Because it’s a slide and you’re leaving your heel exposed, you’ll allow air to circulate. Score…because who could resist these beauties?!
