18 Elevated Pieces to Complete Your Summer Workwear Wardrobe
They'll seamlessly transition into warm weekends.
Welcome to this week's roundup of the best sales across the web. As someone who shops for a living, I have the pleasure of scouting the best fashion finds that suit your style and budget. Another joy of the job? Finding the item your closet has been missing at a steep discount.
Personally, I've been noticing gaps in my summer workwear wardrobe, and I know I can't be the only one. It's tricky business dressing for 80-something-degree weather and then having to combat blasting office AC. So, I went on a search for the best on-sale finds to supplement my summer work outfits and I did not come up empty-handed. From elevated basics and woven ballet flats to HR-approved summery dresses and tote bags, the 18 finds ahead not only work for your nine-to-five but also fit right into your cute summer outfit rotation.
A shirt dress is just about the easiest one-and-done outfit you can wear in the summer. Pair this poplin dress with your favorite sandals or heels, grab your work tote, and you're good to go. Save even more with one of our Abercrombie promo codes.
Ballet flats, which are as popular as ever, are a great option if you don't want your toes exposed during your commute (if you live in New York, you know what I mean). These offer a summery take on the trend with a pretty woven look. Save even more with one of our Sam Edelman promo codes.
A work wardrobe isn't complete without a work bag. I'm shocked to see this tote bag on sale, which is a favorite of Marie Claire editors and shoppers alike thanks to its roomy interior and durable design. Save even more with one of our Madewell promo codes.
I've said it once and I'll say it again: "Button-down shirts are a hero wardrobe piece." For summer, swap your long-sleeve tops for this short-sleeve linen version to stay looking and feeling cool. Save even more with one of our Banana Republic promo codes.
Office workers rejoice! Bermuda shorts are shaping up to be a major summer 2024 trend. This pair will look perfectly polished with a simple tee and heeled sandals. Just be sure to size down as they do run large. Save even more with one of our Nordstrom promo codes.
Whether you wear these sandals to the office, on a dinner date, or just out with your girlfriends, you're going to look put together. With a kitten heel and peep-toe, these are undeniably sexy without being overtly so. Save even more with one of our Shopbop promo codes.
A punchy pop of color is sure to draw some attention in amongst a sea of corporate neutrals. This pretty dress, which is over $200 might I add, works just as well for the office as it does for weekend brunch. Save even more with one of our Tory Burch promo codes.
You may know Spanx for their shapewear, but don't sleep on their basics. This bodysuit works with all of your shorts and skirts and will keep your look elevated with its high neckline and luxurious knit. Save even more with one of our Spanx promo codes.
I'm not over the red color trend and neither is the rest of the fashion world. These fiery red pants would amp up your most basic outfit formulas, even if it's just a tee and sandals. Save even more with one of our Anthropologie promo codes.
Outside of work, these heeled sandals can work for so many other occasions. With a sensible heel and minimalist style, they're the ideal pair for summer weddings, dinner dates, and soirees, plus they come in plenty of neutral shades to fill any wardrobe gaps. Save even more with one of our Vince Camuto promo codes.
The amount of outfits you can put together with this vest is (nearly) endless. For summer, pair it with matching linen pants. Then come fall, make it a hero layering piece with t-shirts and turtlenecks. Save even more with one of our rag & bone promo codes.
White flowy pants are never a bad idea for summer. For a polished, low-effort look, simply pair these pants with a high-neck tank and mule sandals and you're ready to make your 9 a.m. meeting. Save even more with one of our Revolve promo codes.
If it's a bag you take to work every day, make it a good one. Aside from its sleek, durable design, this tote is just roomy enough for your laptop and essentials without weighing your shoulder down. Save even more with one of our Saks Fifth Avenue promo codes.
This may look like your basic top, but rest assured it's so much cooler with its cowl neckline and asymmetrical hem. Wear it with trousers and pointy slingback heels and you'll look like the resident fashion girl of the office. Save even more with one of our Urban Outfitters promo codes.
There's nothing worse than sitting at the office all day in something uncomfortable. But with this breezy day-to-night dress, you won't have that problem. Save even more with one of our Bloomingdale's promo codes.
These just might be the coolest flats I've come across yet. I'd wear them with the REISS dress above for some added edge at the office. Save even more with one of our Tony Bianco promo codes.
A simple upgraded tank like this will go far in your summer work wardrobe. Whenever you don't know what to wear, throw this on with some trousers or a midi skirt for a quick and easy look. Save even more with one of our Brooks Brothers promo codes.
I wear strictly neutrals on a near-daily basis, but if I had this pretty skirt in my wardrobe, I'd be wearing color a whole lot more. Save even more with one of our Mango promo codes.
