What's hot for Summer that's still cool for the office

(WXYZ) - Destination Style Boutique’s team of fashion experts are often asked to help make wardrobe selections that still portray summer fun and cooler fabrics, but are also appropriate for the work place.  There are some basic dos and don’ts that the team shares.

DOS:

1.  It is always a good idea to check if there is a dress code written at the place of work.

     Guidelines are often set that differ from company to company.

2.  Always wear clean, pressed attire.

3.  Three piece dressing is almost always acceptable (bottom, top with cover/jacket.)

4.  Add flare by incorporating the latest trends of the season:

• bold prints
• cut out shoulders
• drop-waist dresses
• color-block
• the feminine touch-ruffles, florals, lace  and pleats

5.  Hose are no longer mandatory in most work places.

6.  Wear lighter, “breathable,” fabrics like cotton, eyelet, tropical wool and linen

 

DON’TS

1.  Never wear sweatpants or loungewear.

2.  Tops should not be too revealing – avoid very sheer, low cut, strapless, spaghetti strap and   tank tops.

3.  No sneakers, Crocs or flip flops.  Opened toe shoes are now acceptable in most offices.  Feet should be well groomed if wearing open toe and/or bare backed shoes.

4.  Skirts and dresses should be just above the knee or longer.

5.  Camisoles should only be worn under a sweater or with a jacket.

6.  Shorts are usually not appropriate in office settings.
