There’s a famous saying about the surprising temperature of summers in San Francisco: ‘The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.’ It’s true! Summer averages around 68 degrees and offices are blasting AC inside, which still calls for lightweight denim and a light blouse. This is totally desk to date. Tech is casual, so anything more than this and I’d look out of place. I like to use accessories to dress an outfit up or down, for a presentation, or to meet my husband after work for a date night.”
When it’s warmer outside, I love to wear vibrant colors and batik prints. This silk chiffon bow blouse adds a bit of softness to the more structured midi skirt, while the embroidered suede bag and mules have a bohemian vibe that feels right for summer.” beauty, photography, picture frame, material property, long hair, room, brown hair, model, photo shoot, black hair, I always think in terms of jewelry. I love warm yellow gold in the summer, as it both resonates with my complexion as well as any mild tan. My apparel choices get lighter (but still with at least half sleeves), so I opt for chiffons and silk charmeuse, plus linen pants that couple well with the silk tops. Jewelry and my hair still dominate over my apparel choices, though.” This summer is all about experimentation, creating untold options for office-appropriate fashion. My personal go-to is a great blouse and skirt combo. I gravitate towards classic stripes, which come in all sorts of iterations, and take inspiration from suiting. In particular, I love a crisp poplin off-the-shoulder blouse from Rosie Assoulin paired with a Dries van Noten ruffle skirt. I add an easy summer sandal and Loewe novelty bag to complete the look.
