I HATE Getting Dressed For Work in the Summer, but These Comfortable Outfits Are Better Than a Bikini

Getting dressed for the office instead of a pool, the beach, or a yacht (dream big) in the Summer is kind of the worst, right? OK, sure. There are far worse tragedies than stifling suits, constricting dresses, and, the absolute worst of them, uncomfortably tight jeans in the heat (see this $35 pair of pants as a comfortable alternative). But they're pretty terrible. A delightfully airy maxi dress with oversize sunnies, a wide-brim hat, and comfy sandals is far more idyllic (preferably in a warm but not unbearably hot locale while consuming copious amounts of oysters with an Aperol spritz and/or glass of rosé in hand). But I digress.

Since, like most people, work is still very much a part of my Summer (I've got to bring in the bucks for those dreamy getaways!), my warm-weather office outfits revolve around lightweight blouses, breezy midi dresses and skirts, loose-but-still-crisp shirts, and tailored separates in cool fabrics like linen and cotton. Yes, I'd prefer to be wearing slinky slip dresses, whisper-thin skirts, and shoulder-baring tops in 90+ degrees at all times, but I'm not exactly angling for darting glances from HR.

Already with an affinity for neat and tidy attire, Summer's tailoring trend - a look that's all about looking polished and relaxed at once - couldn't be more up my alley. With warmer days already on deck, I want to get ahead of the season and plan out a handful of comfortably tailored looks that are smart for the office but also enjoyable enough to wear for leisure. Pieces like the floatiest pair of cropped wide-leg pants, lightweight blazers in fun colors and prints, and versatile tops that help to transition from the office to off duty will get me there.

If you're looking to add a few new outfits to your workwear lineup this Summer, ahead, see how I'll be wearing the Summer tailoring trend over the next couple of months. Featured here are affordable hero pieces from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's, including $44 linen blazers and $30 tie-front tops.

The Boob-Window Trend Is All Over the Red Carpet From Sydney Sweeney to Chlöe

The boob window is the new trend in celebrity dressing making waves this year, both on and off the red carpet. As early as January, in fact, Lori Harvey stepped out to celebrate her 26th birthday in the LBD version of the look, flaunting an asymmetrical midi from The Attico with a chest cutout that circled her cleavage, and was further amplified by an attention-grabbing neck-tie sash. The outfits that follow often resemble halter silhouettes, although not all of these numbers boast a strap on each side. Sydney Sweeney is the latest style icon to give it a go, opting for a brown silk gown that she wore alongside model Izabel Goulart while vacationing in Ibiza. For a night out, the 25-year-old " Euphoria " star rocked her one-shoulder design with gold jewelry, dewy makeup, and her bright blonde hair in loose waves. The bodice of her dress was secured near her collar bone, where fabric from one side was pulled through a loop at the other, wrapping around to the back. The r...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...

Michael Kors has established himself as the go-to designer for all things American glamour, whether that's easy West Coast chic or '80s power bitch, so it was not particularly surprising when he cited the Studio 54-era of New York City as inspiration behind his Fall 2019 collection, shown ...
