BACK TO OFFICE: LATE-SUMMER WEAR.

Thanks to an unusually long ‘heat wave’ here in Europe, before a sudden drop in temperatures will have us all more or less excited for the upcoming Autumn trends,

let's still get the most of our Summer outfits as well as of the benefits from our recent holidays, and let's wear trendy, cheerful and comfortable looks for our coming back to office, so that the stress will be minimised. Here are some tips I've been following during these weeks:

1) PURE WHITE.White outfits such as white jeans and shirt or a white light dress will extend the carelessness and lightheartedness of our recent holidays. Comfortable tan or brightly coloured block-heel sandals and maxi bags, together with golden jewels are ideal for a back to office look, without forgetting the "city chic" requirement.

2) COLOUR YOUR DAYS.

Pastel colours, turquoise and coral shades will stimulate your creativity and of course they will remind you the long days on the beach. Choose pattern silk or chiffon for your dresses and bright shades for your jackets and accessories to stimulate good humor.

3) PERFECT BEAUTY AND MAKE UP.

The lifting and toning effects of the balmy air of seaside resorts together with natural tanning make miracles on our complexion and look, so only a few touches are needed to a perfect makeup: hydrating anti-age cream, eyeliner, extra-dark volume mascara and coral or golden lipgloss to channel your inner "California-girl" mood. Let's not forget scrub and after-sun cream on the whole body for a long-lasting sun-kissed look.

4) DRESS CODE AND ETIQUETTE.

Let's not forget dress code and etiquette in the office: no matter how hot it gets, this is not the time to take a vacation on professionalism, even when we're still under the spell of the Summer-holiday mood. Your image is twelve months a year. So let's abandon flip-flops, plunging-necklines and mini-skirts, since, unfortunately, we are no longer on the beach. Anyway, the weekend is still to come!

And smile! This is a must-have for well-being of both ourselves and our colleagues as well as to create a relaxed atmosphere in the office. And let's not forget to ask our colleagues about their holidays: this will help to bring some cheer during our long days at work. 

And above all, let's not forget to get the most of the last sunny Summer weekend!😄😎🌞
