We're all a bit more laid-back in the summer, but casual doesn't have to mean sloppy. Just add these polished picks and you'll be in business.
Vest
A long vest, especially worn over a flowy dress or top, gives you the structure of a blazer without the bulk. ($218; Reiss.com)
Slides
Sandals at work? Sure, but no crazy colors or embellishments. Try a minimal, metallic slide for a chic yet professional look. ($475; Alumnae.nyc)
"Chickies"
A light-as-air chickie under low-cut pieces keeps you appropriately covered and cool. An additional plus is that they hook to any bra! ($45 each; ChickiesCleavageCoverage.com)

Flip-Flops
If they've touched the sand, they shouldn't come to work.
Tube Tops
Never appropriate for the office.
Nude Hose
Skip them, especially with open-toed shoes.
Denim Cutoffs
Short shorts are a major no-no!
