Tips to dress for the office during summer

Summer is here, and it is time for uniforms to become a little lighter, giving you room to breathe in the heated months ahead.

The key is to keep cool and comfortable when temperatures rise while also ensuring you don’t look like you should be tanning on the beach instead.

At AJAY Apparel, we feel it’s time for us to give you some tips on how to dress for the office in summer.

Let’s face it, there is nothing worse than trying to focus when you’re sweating up a storm! At the same time, the last thing you want to achieve is looking like you don’t belong in the office.

We hope that these tips will serve as a decent reminder, and give you some helpful guidelines to look good while keeping cool as a cucumber.

Here are three things to keep in mind for your office wardrobe in summer.

1. Lightweight to keep cool

One of the first few things you’ll want to invest in (or haul out of your closet) are some lighter fabrics and colours.

Fabrics that breathe easily like your linens, cotton and others will help to keep your body temperature in the right zone.

We encourage you to grab some light, breathable shirts and tops this summer.

2. Colours matter

Not only is it great to have flexible and breathable clothes, but the lighter colours are also a must when it comes to summer heat.

The lighter colours will reflect heat instead of absorbing it, and you’ll look fresh and summery with the right colour and accessories.

Although, we would avoid the Hawaiian printed button-ups unless your office is a bit more laid back.

3. Not too showy

We know it will be warm, but avoid spaghetti straps and showing too much skin at all costs.

We believe in the power of a classy top that breathes and shows an appropriate amount of skin, but nobody needs to see certain bits of your body hanging out.

Short summer oriented tops (or dresses ladies) can be classic, classy, cool and really brilliant. We have an awesome selection for women and for men.

At AJAY Apparel, we value comfort and quality in a good corporate uniform - which is why you should get in touch with us today to get one that fits your needs throughout the seasons!
