Dressing for work in the summer can be so tricky,particularly if you occupy a job with a lot of grey area regarding dress codes. Skirts that hit accurate below or past the knee are a great solution—they hold things breezy but still dressed-up enough for an office environment. I propose staying away from form-fitting styles and sticking with loose A-line or circle silhouettes that sit higher at the waist. The key to maintaining a pulled-together look is managing proportions: Longer skirts look best paired with platforms or heels, and tops that are fitted or cropped; shorter hemlines are better with flats and roomier shirts. Note: crop-tops are OK providing they cover the shoulders and fall past the actual waistline of the skirt, or enough so that even if you raise your arms above your head,your stomach doesn’t make a cameo.
