Capture Fashion by Amanda Del Duca

Transitioning a corporate wardrobe from spring to summer can be challenging, especially when the weather outside is 30 degrees warmer than an inside an office. The key is thoughtfully layering with light, loose fabrics that maintain a level of professionalism and can be easily stored in your bag on break or after hours. Above and below are shopping/outfit ideas for inspiration, and here are few tips for specifics. xx

• Retire your pumps for a season and go for mary-jane and/or peep-toe styles.
• Choose breathable and light fabrics like cotton, linen and silk.
• Midi length skirts are both breezy and office appropriate.
• Carry or store a blazer for the office.
