16 Summer-Ready Looks for the Modern Professional

16 Looks

White Skirt 3 Ways: Add pops of burgundy, which still shines in the summer months when paired with a lighter palette. Mixing creams and white together add dimension to your look. Wear with or without the blazer for a comfortable and chic option

White Skirt 3 ways: Add some drama with a knit sleeveless tank, and a wide belt at the waist, which gives the effect of a color block dress. This look is perfect for the fashion forward office.

White Skirt 3 Ways : A classic white button up is a summer staple, open up the neckline and wear a statement necklace, with pops of red for the perfect summer office look. Don't forget to roll your sleeves for an added element of style.

Summer Suit: For the modern minimalist, this neutral suit is sophisticated and polished while not drawing too much attention, more for the if you know, you know crowd.

Summer Suit: This light pink suit is great for summer with a lightweight silk tank, and can be traded for layers in the fall in darker tones. Adding a straw handbag, and mesh heels lightens the look for summer and still keeps it professional

Summer Suit: If your climate reaches the 90's and 100's most of the summer, then this suit is for you. Butter yellow linen, is not only a statement, but will keep you cool on hot days. Trade the blazer for a vest on the warmer days, and easily swap silk for cotton underneath the blazer, or go without an underpinning ( per Veronica Beard styling)

The Short Suit: this green linen short suit is your go-to for sunny days when you still want to look sharp. Style it with a simple tank, strappy sandals, and a straw tote for the perfect mix of structure and ease. Ideal for client meetings, lunch al fresco, or anywhere linen feels right.

The Short Suit : This powder blue short suit is balanced with crisp shirting, a structured belt, and sleek black accessories for a modern, minimalist take on summer power dressing. Polished enough for the office, cool enough for an evening out.

The Short Suit : This is how the cool city girl does summer tailoring: a sleek black short suit, paired with a minimal sandal and a statement tote for just the right amount of ease. Wear it with the blazer for daytime polish, then slip it off for drinks after hours.

The Summer Dress: The power of poplin. This soft blue shirtdress is structured enough for meetings but breezy enough for summer days. A sculptural heel and refined tote keep it polished, while layered gold accents add just the right amount of personality. Classic, fresh, and completely work-appropriate.

The Summer Dress: A warm neutral dress gets elevated with strappy heels, sculptural earrings, and a rich woven tote—but it’s the navy cardigan, casually tossed over the shoulders, that adds that understated “I just threw this on” polish. Perfect for transitional days or breezy evenings out.

The Summer Dress: Gingham, but make it office-appropriate. This polished shirtdress reinvents a classic summer print with structure and sophistication. If you work in a more conservative office, feel free to add a brown or cream sweater. Paired with sleek white accessories and a hint of gold, it’s the perfect balance of playful and professional.

The Vest: Consider this your work-from-home uniform—elevated. A relaxed linen drawstring suit in a saturated summer hue feels pulled-together enough for Zoom, and chic enough to head straight to lunch with a friend. Just add a sculptural sandal and bold accessories for that effortless, “I always dress like this” energy.

The Vest: Modern minimalism, in motion. A clean cream vest and trouser pairing feels effortless and intentional—structured but not stiff. Anchored with a sculptural sandal and a bold woven tote for contrast, this look moves seamlessly from meeting to gallery to golden hour drinks. Understated, elevated, and quietly commanding.

The Vest: We have seen the vest return for the past few years, and it's not going anywhere- think of it as your summer blazer, especially if it is wide at the shoulders ( no halter vests at the office please). This all white look is polished and professional. If the red feels like too much of a pop, you can trade it for white or black accessories.

This fitted black tank and sleek pencil skirt combo is endlessly versatile—but it’s the addition of the oversized blue shirt that takes it somewhere fresh. Tie it at the waist for definition, or drape it over your shoulders for that cool, nonchalant polish. Perfect for city days that turn into dinner plans.
