How to dress for work in the summer – For him
21 May 2026
Warmer weather calls for a work wardrobe switch-up. Not sure where to start? We've curated a selection of summer workwear essentials you can style with everything. Think shirts, polos, linen trousers, and light layers to keep you looking sharp and comfortable in the heat.
The summer hero shirt
First up, a classic shirt. Every summer work wardrobe needs one. They look and feel good and will keep you looking effortlessly pulled together. In our opinion, you can’t go wrong with a linen-blend style - wear it loose or tucked into chinos, it looks great either way.
Pick a polo
A workwear wardrobe without a polo shirt? No such a thing. Every summer casual work dress code calls for one, two, a few. Versatile and ideal for layering, they're the reliable go-to that never disappoints. Our favourite way to wear them? Loose, over chinos paired with white trainers.
Lighter layering
Layering is a must in summer, not only for combating the office air con, but also for those evenings when the weather turns a little chilly. Look no further than our layering heroes. There's plenty to choose from, but you can't go wrong with a half-zip jumper. It's not just stylish, it's practical too, so you're prepared for any weather change. Pair it with a shirt or tee for an effortlessly polished look.
Switch to linen
Summer is the perfect time to shake up your trouser rotation. Lighter weight cotton and linen fabrics are always a winner – they're cool and comfortable, giving jeans a run for their money. Dress them up or dress them down – it's so simple. Ours come in various shades, but a classic khaki tone is ideal for summery work outfits. Pair them with tees or shirts for effortless, wear-all-week versatility.
Summer shorts
And lastly, shorts. There's no better way to embrace the warm weather than in a pair of shorts. Our signature Bermudas strike the perfect balance between smart and casual, making them ideal for work and weekend wear. We recommend pairing them with a pastel shirt or tee for an office-appropriate look.
