by The spread of the office may have changed our work cabinets, but there are still still lines that we should not cross, pretty much all of them can be seen in the average office during a heat wave. How do you navigate to work clothes on a day of 30 degrees?
Wear light fabrics, wear a folding fan on the tube and remember that as soon as you get to the office, you are spoiled with the air conditioning, from which the work of home can only dream, the temperature of a man who wears a full suit every day of the year and things
How short is too short?
Z and Millennial employees are currently discussing, with gen Z firmly on the side of the short short film. Paul Mescal, who combines with a blue shirt, slippers and socks for “best”, is the man who has launched a thousand bare legs who have all limes in an office near you. And who can blame them?
But what is good for a power package is unfortunately not good for a day full of meetings with the MD. If you want to wear shorts (and really, you are not much cooler than pants that I wore yesterday for a day full of meetings), you should be tailored, in a not too flat fabric that will not be wilt until the end of the day. With regard to the length, the thumb rule is that if part of your bare leg touches the ergonomic office chair (or worse, the padded tube seat: Have you already forgot the bed bugs of the last year?), Then you are too short. The same rule applies to women, with the addition that the skirts have to be long enough so that every blowing breeze does not flash the coffee huts -Barista, which makes their morning flat.
Sleeves or no sleeves?
When it comes to mere arms, design is more important than reporting: At the moment, the high street is full of button through the vest of women, which are completely sleeveless, but definitely reasonable.
But take this tailor context away, and a cotton vest with the same cover would not be formal enough. Rib -Stretch cotton vests may be fashionable, but they still transport some of us older to forget fitness kits at school and run rounds in west and panties. In short, you are under-things, even if you bought your for £ 720 from Prada (really. It’s 100 percent cotton). Men cannot take them off as work clothes, as demonstrated yesterday at a friend’s zoom meeting. However, if you are Pedro Pascal, ignore this and wear your sleeveless T-shirt as often as you want.
If your office allows T-shirts, make it a simple, sun-free, if you can afford it, in white or black (gray is a practical joke played on the sweat), no slogans or logos or vintage band merch.
What is okay on zoom?
Not the white vests mentioned above. If you ride the heat wave in your garden, well for you: take the laptop for all zooms and keep a pressed shirt to scold your bizarre work clothes (written by a woman who is currently working from home from the audience, and therefore wear crocs, gymnastics shorts and a sports bra). Just be careful what is in the frame: the short shorts of a colleague were found when they got up during a call.
Are open toe shoes allowed?
Nothing that makes a noise when walking should hear how he strikes the corridors of an office building. Flip flops are twice wrong because of the rubber, but leather and suede sandals are ok as long as they have cut their toenails. Look for more intelligent forms that show a little less foot, like fishing sandals.
Only the Allleder -Birkenstocks pass patterns, not those with the pale inside sole, which is so easily marked by sweaty feet. Socks and slippers also look good. And preferably no boat shoe, if your office is in the west of London, you can probably ignore this.
What about fabrics?
When it comes to cotton, linen and silk, lightweight often means sheer, and men are not freed from it. When I can see dark chest hair or – and I’m sorry to go there – the shape of a nipple need a thicker fabric or a darker color. For women, bright white bras can be the most visible among white shirts – look for a shadow that approaches your skin tone closer, or function – dark red – well. The summer tip is a spectrum that runs from Prim and a little old to risks, depending on the size of the holes. So make caution or add a slip underneath.
Can I just wear my vacation wardrobe?
This is clearly the point of contact for some, hence the Magnum Pi Hawaiian shirts, which they appear in creative marketing team meetings. Avoid at all costs. Linen looks in black, white, navy or brown just an office, and all “funny” holiday parts will be difficult to read under the cold light of a fluorine strip. For women, this means that MIDI dresses with multi -colored embroidery or tassels, or these small mirrored circles are all nos. Would you wear it for a Taverna dinner on the beach? Do not wear it in the company -wide town hall, even if you attach a lunch buffet.
