- Sweat Survival The Professional Edition
When the heat of summer is turned all the way up, the work must go on regardless of overreactive sweat glands. So, we curated essentials to power you through without sacrificing the style to keep you cool in front of and behind a desk.
Just Breathe
It’s time to break up with silks and synthetic materials and make lightweight textiles and loose silhouettes your best friend. Hibernate those suit pants until fall and opt for shorts with a vest or a linen skirt from Liz Claiborne. And when layers are necessary, a sleeveless cotton or mesh blouse will prevent the sweat-cling of your blazer.
Mane-tain Your Cool
Don’t let the sweltering sun rays fool you into thinking you can’t have a refreshing beauty routine. A liquid or powder foundation from bareMinerals made with spf 15 or higher gives an all-day smooth, natural look. Revive your tresses with dry shampoo and CHI’s hydrating leave-in conditioner before you finish with a setting spray and trendy claw hair clasp to capture any strays.
Cold As Ice
It never fails. The blast of the A/C chills you to the bone the moment you enter the office from the sweltering heat. So, complement your look with a cardigan or denim jacket from Worthington or Ryegrass to complete your look and keep the chill at bay. Cancel sweat’s invitation with these stylish solutions.
Let It Flow
Fellas, we’re here to help you and your tailor-made wardrobe get through the dog days of summer. Level up your essentials with Stafford’s moisture-wicking t-shirts to wear under a linen shirt or short-sleeve polo paired with looser fitting pants for airflow. If your work schedule requires a full suit, choose lighter hues and lightweight fabrics to remain comfortable while avoiding unsightly sweat patches.
Office Besties
If the heat index outside is the same inside, place a mini fan or Pure Enrichment’s small humidifier on top of your desk for a breeze of clean, cool air. Or when more is necessary, install a portable air conditioner to bring the temperatures down in any room. And for busy days, give yourself a quick refresh with a clarifying mist or Skin Gym’s facial roller for extra breathability.
