It’s a dilemma we face every summer: suppressive heat outside and blasting air conditioning inside. Getting dressed becomes a careful practice in duality. Outfits have to work during your sticky commute and under the freezing vents at your desk. The key to stylishly surviving? Layers. Lightweight and neutral, a Jenni Kayne cardigan tucks easily over a tote in the heat, and looks chic over a Black Halo dress during a meeting. A gauzy wrap is another packable option. Before you get to the office, tie a colorful Rag & Bone scarf to your shoulder bag. Once you reach your frosty destination, wrap it around your shoulders or neck for an elegantly efficient way to warm up.
