Now that summer has rolled around, dressing for work is harder than ever. It may be a sweltering 90 degrees outside, but likely your office air conditioning is leaving you with the chills. Transitioning to after work cocktails in the summer can also be tricky, after all who wants to wear a stuffy suit when you don't have to? Stockpile these essentials in your desk drawer and you'll be covered all summer long.
1. Keep a wrinkle free summer dress ready like this T-Bags v-neck jersey maxi dress ($230, net-a-porter.com) and you'll always be prepared for that last minute after-work cocktail.
2. It's nice to enjoy a quick lunch outside during a summer workday, just come prepared with sunscreen like Kiehl's Vital Sun Protection ($19.50 for 5 fl. oz., kiehls.com).
3. Combat the office chills with a great cardigan like Rebecca Taylor waterfall leopard print cardigan ($350, bloomingdales.com).
4. It's difficult to remember to bring sunglasses to work everyday so keep a spare pair ready, like Karen Walker's Helter Skelter vintage demi sunglasses ($170, gargyle.com).
5. Sure those new strappy sandals look fabulous but getting through the entire day wearing them can be a challenge. Always have a cute (and comfortable) pair of sandals on standby like J.Crew's patent leather Tabitha t-strap sandals ($88, jcrew.com).
6. Another great way to stay warm inside the office is with a summer scarf like Virginia Johnson's shark print merino wool scarf ($195, virginiajohnson.com). It's also a cute and effortless way to update your summer look.
