Fans of irony will appreciate a crisp white collared dress shirt boldly emblazoned with the words "Less is More."

"Less is More" Fashion Formula = Tank + Wide Belt + Shorts + Flats.
Women’s Classic Bold Tank | $42 at C&C California
Roma Accessories Leather Sash Belt | $98 at Nordstrom

This week, we’re going back to basics to find you the most luxuriously elegant wardrobe staples for Fall: a voluminous draped cardigan for women and a fitted henley for men.
For women:
Vince Drape Cardigan | $275 at Shopbop
Elegantly oversized details elevate this sweater from staple to stunning.
John Varvatos Henley Knit Top | $165 at ScoopNYCWith men’s clothing, the devil is in the details. What makes this henley special is the ever-so-subtle extension of the placket closure.

The key to looking fresh at work despite the sweltering heat is to keep your look simple and remember that the difference between looking crisp and feeling wilted is all in the details. To beat the heat while keeping your look professional, try:
Lightweight, Breathable Fabrics: It goes without saying that lighter weight fabrics are generally going to be cooler than heavier weight fabrics. However, consider how breathable the fabric is. Natural fabrics like cotton and linen work especially well on hot days because they absorb and release moisture quickly, allowing fabric to “breathe.â€
Simple Silhouettes: Simple, unfussy silhouettes—such as a well-cut suit or a shift dress—automatically give your look a polished feel, even when you’re sitting in the stifling heat.
Adding the Unexpected: Upon this simple foundation, add an unexpected color or detail to punch up your outfit. A bright color, an oversized collar, or a special detail like pintucking or piping will take your outfit from simply work-appropriate to stunning.
Layering: Layering becomes more important than ever when alternating between the blisteringly warm outdoors and an ice-cold air-conditioned office. Keep a fitted sweater on hand in the office to weather these temperature shifts.
Personal Grooming: Neat hair, manicured nails, and scuff free shoes—personal grooming essentials—are de rigeur. Longhaired women can pull back their hair into a ponytail or a bun for a refined look. Oil absorbing facial wipes work well to keep your skin fresh looking (and feeling) throughout the day.
We’ve used these principles to create a mini-series of heat-resistant and work-appropriate outfits for women and men. Enjoy!
