When summer rolls around you can be unsure about what to where to work. The minute you step out the door it’s hot, but when you enter your workplace it’s almost always cool. Here are some things you can incorporate into your office outfits to help accommodate you to the changes in temperature. Cardigan: This is the perfect thing to wear when you’re going from a hot climate to a cooler one. A lightweight cardigan is the perfect thing to wear if you’re at work and you start to feel a little chilly. There are cardigans with and without buttons, long-sleeves, short-sleeves and ¾ sleeves. You can decide which is perfect for you, depending on how your workplace typically feels. When you leave work you can take it off, since it will not doubt be warmer outside. 1. Fine Knit Cardigan

Sleeveless Dress: If you love to wear dresses, a sleeveless dress is the perfect to wear both inside and outside of the workplace.
