14 Summer Pieces That Are Totally Office Appropriate

As Summer approaches, you don't have to cover up to keep it office-appropriate, especially when you make smart switches to lightweight fabrics, bright colors, and breezy silhouettes that get the job done without compromising on style or comfort.

Below, we've culled 14 office-style game changers to shake up your 9-to-5 dressing routine in the best way possible. Think cropped pants, a shirtdress, and a cool new bag to take you right into the boardroom in style — because really, you have no business wearing that tweed suit in the 85-degree heat.

Trade in your mini skirt for a midi option like this Zara poplin piece ($50).
Toss the boring tops aside for this Fame and Partners metallic one ($189). It features a peplum-with-a-twist fit and proceeds from the top go to a women's empowerment charity.
Here's a dress that'll perk everyone up at the office. The floral print on this Ganni wrap dress ($440) gives a hint of Spring vibes.
All eyes will be glued to your feet when you wear Topshop's metallic ankle boots ($125). Rock them with a dress or jeans.

You might not have enough PTO days for a beach vacation, but you can totally work those island vibes into your outfit with Clare V.'s handwoven satchel ($225).

Speaking of mules, we heart the black leather ones from Everlane ($120).
More billowy than your average tailored pants, these Asos trouser-inspired culottes ($45) are proper but fun.
