What to Wear to Work in the Summer
With team Liberty's advice, you'll never worry about sticky commutes vs. aircon again
Navigating office dress codes can be a minefield at the best of times. Add on the complexities of summer in the city and it becomes a different matter entirely. One minute you’re navigating your commute in conditions that feel more akin to a sauna, the next you’re in the chilly embrace of the office air conditioning. And if you’re heading out to enjoy the sunshine after 5pm, you’ll have the desk-dinner switch to contend with too.
Happily, no-one navigates these dilemmas better than the experts at team Liberty. So sit back, take out your Liberty print notebook, and heed their advice on the best outfits and styling tips for summer office dressing.

Dress, Ganni; Top, Paloma Wool; Scarf, Liberty
“You never know when the English weather will turn, and pieces like Paloma Wool’s sheer top are great for layering. I love clashing patterns, like the Tree Trellis print of my Liberty scarf and the leopard print on this Ganni dress.”

Shirt, Solid & Striped; Skirt, Helmut Lang; Scarf, Liberty
"I love to mix masculine cuts with feminine shapes, so this pairing of a Solid & Striped shirt, Helmut Lang skirt and Liberty silk scarf is very me.”
Pere Bruach Senior Designer
Jeans and Shirt, YMC; Bandana, Liberty
"During the week, I like to keep it casual with my favourite pair of YMC jeans. Their broderie anglaise shirt is a no-brainer for Soho in the sun and perfectly compliments my Ianthe print bandana.”

Silvia Spagnol Marketing Project Manager
Top and Trousers, Paloma Wool; Sunglasses, Gucci
"Soho's summer vibe of layers: summer in London can be unpredictable, suddenly sultry and sunny and then rainy and gloomy, but in Soho it's preferable for you to always be trendy. I opted for an outfit by Paloma Wool, layering a blue striped top and trousers with a see-through grey dress, always carrying Gucci sunnies for when suddenly sun is shining!"

Vest, Ganni; Shorts, Loewe
"I love a pair of tailored shorts when it gets to summer, and these from Loewe are about as perfect as they come. When the weather is really hot in London, I'll wear with a simple vest - like this one from Ganni - and a pair of closed-toe sandals. I'll usually have a crisp white shirt in my bag too, in case I need an extra layer in the office, or if I head out for dinner after work."
