SIZZLING SUMMER SHORT SUITS

With the scorching summer heat we've been having so far this summer, it is hard to look sleek and cool at work.  Looking for a way to up your summer work style?  Try a shorts suit.  This is a great professional look  and can transition to a night on the town.  Navy, white paired with black, and bold, bright colors are popular this season.  A silky tank top and statement necklace pull together this look.  When heading out for happy hour or a night on the town, pull out your sexy strappy sandals.

Fit Tips:  To make your silhouette look slimmer, pick a jacket that hits below the waist.  This can be paired with short shorts or with longer walking shorts.  Cropped jackets give off a younger vibe.

Try pairing blazers or shorts together that you already own to create a new work look, or pick up a few new pieces that you can mix and match together.  Wearing a suit does not mean it has to be matching pieces.
