Hot Fashions for a Cool Summer

As the temperatures outside really heat up, women’s attention is turning toward fashions that look fantastic, but keep them cool in the process. While sleeves tend to shorten in length this time of year, pants can pose a particular challenge. This is especially so for those who work in office settings and just can’t get away with wearing shorts to beat the heat. While dresses are always "in," not every woman adores wearing them. When that’s the case, ankle pants and Capri pants for women can offer the perfect fix.

While shorts might not work in a business setting, Capris and ankle pants often do. In fact, the very same styles that work at work can often translate into casual days outdoors, mucking around town or even hanging out by the beach. The trick lies in selecting the right tops and accessories to dress these styles up or down accordingly.

Capri pants for women tend to be shorter than ankle pants,but they can work in a causal business setting well. These pants typically stop about mid-calf, which means the right shoes can make all the difference in the world. Many women dress them up by wearing pumps or open-toed shoes with a bit of a heel. Polish on the toe nails can add to a dressier, more "finished" look. These pants also look great with stylish button ups, but full jackets will sometimes clash.

Ankle pants are a little easier to pull off in a business setting. Stopping right at or above the ankles, these often lighter weight pants, tend to look dressier when heels are included in the mix. Since they are longer by design, they can look fantastic with lightweight blazers and jackets, as well.

For either ankle pants or capris, transforming from day-in-the-sun to office perfect can be helped along immensely by the right accessories. In addition to paying attention to shoe and top selection, make sure to complete the overall "together" appearance in the office by including the right bag, necklace and earrings to tie up the ensemble nicely.
