Hi my name is Rachel Youens and I'm a freelance fashion writer and the owner of austinstylewatch.com
street fashion site and today we're going to talk about how to dress business casual
even in the blistering sun. So first we are going to talk about exactly what business
casual is. It is kind of a balance between your normal white color business wear and
your street wear so not your raggedy jeans, not your nice business slacks but something
kind of in between. The first thing we are going to talk about with business casual is
that you can't throw all your normal business wear ideas out the window. This doesn't mean
you can wear like tank tops and skimpy stuff. So one solution we can do is taking a dress
that normally would be a little too skimpy to wear to work, something with maybe a halter
back line like this one or a tank top that maybe you would wear to a Summer wedding but
you wouldn't wear it to work. Taking that dress, bringing it into work, wearing that
but putting a cardigan over it so when you are outside on your water to work, leaving
work, at lunch, you can take off the cardigan and be a little cooler but then while you
are at work, still kind of keeping that modesty and that business look that you really need
to uphold. The second tip we are going to talk about is looking at the fabrics that
you are going to be wearing. I have two kind of similar shirts here. This one is polyester
and this one is cotton. You are going to be way cooler in the cotton so as you are going
through and choosing your wardrobe opt for something that is going to breath. Look at
seersuckers, look at cotton, look at linen. It is wrinkly but it is a great breathing
material. Try to keep that spandex at home. You'll be really hot and you'll also get a
little sticky. One problem that a lot of women have they try to do the business casual and
they want to wear a tank top but *** women often have a problem with too much cleavage
showing even when they want to be modest. So looking at a tank top like this that has
a high cut neck line. You are still getting that sleeveless look and you're still getting
a tank top but it has got a high enough neck line that you are not going to be coming out
of your shirt. And our final tip for business casual and not all work environments will
allow this but if you could wear cropped pants or a capri and that is one really great way
to still be wearing a slack and still look very business-like. Again my name is Rachel
and this has been how to dress business casual even in the blistering sun.
