Oh the horror stories we could tell you about summer work dressing gone wrong. Not at our office, (perish the thought!) but we’ve seen everything from spaghetti strap dresses better suited for the beach to overtly sexy short shorts you'd only find in a rap video to casual flip flips that call for a day at the spa. While keeping cool and maintaining a polished and professional look can be challenging, the short-sleeve button-up offers the perfect solution with lightweight, airy fabrics and a boxy silhouette. Whether you give this piece the nine-to-five treatment by tucking it into a pencil skirt or style it for the weekend with drawstring shorts, it’s sure to become your new warm weather go-to. Check out our favourites from Jil Sander, Steven Alan, and more to shop the look now.
