Warm Weather Wear

The WSJ has a useful article on how to dress smartly in hot weather. It's pretty straight-forward stuff, but still good to keep in mind. Here are the highlights:

Do:

• Wear a collar (in a shirt or jacket) if you need to convey authority.
• Choose high-quality clothes that will hold up to the work day without wrinkling or stretching.
• Cover all the body parts you'd cover in traditional business attire.
• Use color and pattern to jazz up your summer wardrobe.
• Wear business clothes in summery fabrics—for instance, cotton pants and blazers

Don't:

• Wear shorts to the office.
• Wear halters, flip flops, strapless or spaghetti-string tops or other revealing leisure clothes.
• Wear mules or other shoes that impede graceful movement.
• Wear Capri pants, miniskirts or other clothes you can't bend down in.
• Dress like you're heading for a round of golf or other sport. Unless you are.
