How to Dress for the Office during the Summer
Presentation is half the job and in order to succeed in the modern world, one has to pay attention to appearance. Communication is another very important aspect and you convey half the message with your body language and appearance.
People, who take care of themselves and dress well, have better chances of getting noticed as compared to those who ignore this very important aspect. At workplaces, if you are dressed well and are presentable, you are likely to engage clients and superiors more effectively, which is going to have a very positive impact on your career.
While looking good is not all that hard, it does requires sensible and appropriate dressing. You need to stay in touch with trends and dress according to the season. While you are heavily dressed with sweaters, jumpers or jackets in winters, summers allow you to express yourself in a different manner.
Work places also have dress codes which you need to keep in mind. Formal clothing is a requirement at some places while others are more lenient and allow for casual dressing.

Take into account the culture
Every organization has a particular culture, so it is recommended that you follow the undefined rules as well and consider the norms before you select your dresses. You have got to use your common sense while dressing as high temperature does not give you the license to wear extremely short skirts or to show cleavage. You must be reasonable in your dressing, in order to look sophisticated and graceful.
On the other side of the coin, you should not be overdressed as well, as it looks extremely awkward in summers. Maintain a balance and try to avoid business suits and formal shoes, when everybody else is wearing khakis and sandals.

Fabric
In summers, you may want to go with clothing that does not make you sweat excessively or make you uncomfortable. Be particular about the fabrics you choose. -

Footwear
Footwear is very important in summers. Choose the shoes/sandals according to the shape of your feet and make sure they are comfortable. Don't wear anything too flashy or bold, keep it simple.
