Spring has sprung, and summer is just around the corner, but when it comes to workwear, it can be a really weird season. In my office, it’s when the AC is turned on, and I would be frozen, but the second I step outside, the heat hits me. I tried to find some classic workwear pieces that can be layered or paired with lightweight, sleeveless tops for those sweltering days.
If you’re new here, Iβm a former corporate recruiter who spent over 12 years in business suits. I try to mix my love for a classic professional look with affordable options that can be worn anytime of the year. If you haven’t checked out my 20 staples to build a workwear capsule, check out that post HERE.
