Office look, the heat-proof guide Inspirations come from celebrities, go through fashion shows and end up in our wardrobes

Natural fabrics, airy materials, free shoulders, free legs. The hot weather brings big question marks when it comes to creating workwear looks while avoiding a quick getaway. The layering trick also applies to the summer season, aided by the icy wind of air conditioning that lurks from above and stresses the neck and shoulders. The dress code for summer has lost its strictness over the years, but there are a few clear rules you should still follow: no rubber flip-flops, no visible bra straps, if not completely then mostly covered tummies, miniskirts that are more Mary Quant than Christina Aguilera. Here are some shopping tips, celebrity looks and designer catwalk looks on how to deal with the hot temperatures.
