How to dress for work in the summer – For her
4 August 2025
Sunny days and balmy evenings are here. If you're thinking about refreshing your summer work wardrobe, you've landed in the right place. We've curated a selection of our favourite summer workwear essentials and the key to mastering on-duty dressing this sunny season and beyond.
Invest in wide leg trousers
A good pair of wide leg trousers are a must-have for the office. Apart from being lightweight and breathable, they go with everything in your wardrobe, which means they do the trick for both the office and all the social events in your summer calendar. Our navy Twill Trousers are endlessly versatile, with a stylish mock horn button and belt loops meaning you can accessorise how you please.
The pretty blouse
Effortless workwear blouses go a long way – they only need minimal accessorising and team with pretty much any skirt or trouser in your collection. Our Mila Frill Sleeve style is smart and feminine, with pretty frill details and a pleated, button-down placket for added interest. Style like we have with neutral jeans and tan sandals.
Dress up in colour
Every summer dress code calls for a bright-coloured dress, and nothing shouts summer like pink – and a nautical-inspired rope pattern! We love our Emma Jersey Shirt Dress, with its flattering midi length and collar making it stylish, yet still practical for work. Emphasised with a self-fabric belt to accentuate the waist, we suggest styling with white trainers for dressed-up dressing-down moments or espadrilles to take things up a notch.
Make it a midi
The midi skirt. It easily earns its title as the hardest-working item in many wardrobes thanks to its wear-with-anything appeal. Take our striped Dara style as proof. It’s timeless print and swirl silhouette make it a piece your work wardrobe needs this summer. Style with a white tee and trainers for easy elegance.
Summer whites
A white shirt for workwear is everything. They serve as the perfect canvas for accessorising and creating various smart-casual office looks. Ideal for days when you need to look pulled together at the office, they offer endless versatility. Wear with blue denim and switch up the formula slightly by wearing undone over a tee, tucking in or even tying – the possibilities are endless.
