Yes, you can wear shorts and flip flops to work (if your office dress code permits it, of course).

1. 

   Making Shorts Conference Room Ready – Longer, relaxed-fit shorts like bermudas are having a major moment, and offer an effortlessly chic vibe for everyone. Look for tailored styles in neutral tones to pair with preppy loafers or block-heel sandals for a polished look that feels professional but still lets your legs breathe. If you really want to wear denim, ensure the shorts are longer than your fingertips and pair them with more polished separates (think a crisp white button down or summer blazer).

   Men can also master office-ready shorts by opting for flat-front shorts that hit just above the knee. Pair them with a short-sleeve button-down or polo in a refined fabric, and complete the outfit with loafers or a casual oxford to keep things elevated and office-friendly.

2. Ace Your Summer Office Style with the “Court Sport” Trend – Serve country club-chic at your 9-to-5 with crisp polos, tailored skorts and smart track sets that transition seamlessly from weekend pursuits to the workday. For women, the right accessories — like classic white sneakers and a structured work tote — will make these sporty staples feel more intentional.

   For men, pair a performance polo in a breathable fabric with tailored chinos or even drawstring trousers in a structured material. Finish the look with clean, low-profile sneakers or a suede loafer to strike the perfect balance between leisurewear and professional attire.

3. Step Into Comfort as You Step into the Office – From the red carpet to date night, flip flops are no longer reserved for the beach. When styled appropriately, summer’s hottest footwear can even be incorporated into your workwear rotation. For women looking to sport flip flops in the office, go for a sleek kitten heel or platform styles over rubber thong sandals. Stick to neutral tones and pair them with elevated staples — a satin slip skirt, a sharp blazer or a head-to-toe monochrome moment to elevate the look.

   Men should swap their basic flip flops for an elevated leather pair, which can be worn to the office with tailored trousers and a breezy linen button-down.

4. Summer Style Hack: Beach-to-Office Chic! – Sorry, all, this tip is for women only. This summer, try repurposing your favorite swim cover-ups for the office. Belt a tunic-style cover-up over tailored wide-leg trousers, or wear it open over a tank and tailored jeans. Alternatively, easily transform your favorite crochet cover-up into a work-appropriate ensemble by simply layering a body hugging tank dress underneath it to ensure full coverage at the office.
5. Summer Friday Style, Streamline – Don’t let a post-work outfit change be the reason you miss out on your summer Friday activities. Instead, use our Summer Friday Fit Formula to create a look that’s effortless and office-appropriate — no outfit change required. Start with a base layer that works for both, like a breezy maxi dress or wide-leg linen pants with a tucked tank. Layer on a work-friendly piece like a cropped jacket or lightweight blazer. (Bonus: The extra layer will help battle how freezing it is inside due to the office AC.) Then, pack a statement accessory in your tote (think bold earrings, sunglasses or sandals) to instantly switch gears once you clock out.
