It's a Man's World


Ladies, while we have the fortunate opportunity to don cute summer dresses and sandals (only as walking shoes) to work. We have to admit that we feel sorry for our male counterparts who must still be dressed in their 9-5 best. Because we love you guys (pun intended) so much we have decided to compile some summer style tips that will keep you cool (yes-we know-pun intended):

1. Keep it light- Fellas, it is time to put away the wool suits and break out the cotton. Invest in cotton or chino suits that are still professional but are made of lighter material.

2. Color me Bad- Resist the urge to wear a dark suit. We know the old adage "black attracts heat." Invest in tan and cream suits.

3. Tie me up- Wear ties that are summery and fun but still office appropriate. Try colors such as light blue and peach.

4. If the shoe fits- Cole Haan makes awesome dress loafers that are cool and comfortable but still very professional.

5. Lay it on me-Many of you have to wear blazers to work. Place a nice dress shirt and vest under your blazer that way when you leave work for the evening happy hour you can toss the blazer and still have a polished look under.

And if all else fails, there is always searsucker...we kid we kid.
