Cherry trees blossom, the Sun shines and many women are happy to replace autumn and winter heavy-weight clothing items with more cheerful and colorful spring wardrobe. Light-weight spring and summer clothing items show off more our skin and it is quite difficult to be appropriately dressed for your job. It is very important to maintain a professional look, but to feel comfortable in the workplace year around. Luckily, it is possible to find cute dresses that get along with the spring and summer seasons, but also are acceptable for the office. Yes, it is achievable to wear fun and comfortable clothes without pushing the boundaries of an business casual dress code.
Knee length dresses are appropriate for the office – in a solid basic colors, floral design, fun prints – it is your own choice. Your spring business wardrobe must also include 2 or 3 blazers, which are recommended to be plain and simple in order to mix with colorful and fun trousers, skirts and blouses. All those clothing items do not have to be so expensive. Cheap dresses, shirts and jackets can be found and if combined properly, you can look very elegant. When choosing the right outfit, think also about your shoulders – they should be covered, but blouses and dresses can be even sleeveless if you put some light-weight blazer on. Also, think about the fabric. Spring and summer clothing items should be very comfortable, and cotton is perhaps the best choice in order to achieve this. Do not wear too tight clothes – it is double trouble – uncomfortable and inappropriate. When it comes to footwear, open-toed heels are often not allowed at offices. Kitten-heel pumps in some interesting colors are recommended for the business attire. They can express your personality, while at the same time looking sophisticated and professional.
And the last tip, so many times written and said. If you are not sure what exactly your company means by “spring business casual”, look up to your female boss and dress similar to her.
