British summer not living up to it’s name? Here’s what to wear to the office when it’s raining

Please allow me to be extremely British for a second because we need to talk about the weather. As I write this, I can hear the rain falling, not in a light summer rom-com inspired shower, but a full on downpour…in July. By comparison yesterday, I was sitting outside on the balcony baking in a swimsuit and of course complaining it was far too hot. How naive I was.

It’s because of these, let’s call them temperamental, changes in weather that I felt compelled to write this article because when it’s hot and humid when you head to the office but raining by lunchtime, it can be tricky to know what to wear. Plus, I don’t know about you, but during the summer months I will do everything in my power to keep wearing my summer wardrobe no matter the forecast. Even if that means pairing them with an autumnal knit or introducing some clever layering to make them acceptable for the UK weather.
