Let’s be honest—dressing for the office in summer is a struggle.
The second it hits 85°F, I’m sweating before I even make it to the elevator.

There was a time when I used to just throw on my usual workwear, thinking, “It’s fine, I’ll survive.”
But then I’d get to the office, sweat stains already forming, uncomfortable in stiff fabrics, and freezing in the overactive AC by noon.
I was looking for outfits that would be super comfortable but not blah at the same time.
Because here’s the thing: I still want to feel cute. Confident. Like I actually put effort into how I show up.
