Sharp at the Office in 44°C: A Summer Workwear Playbook

Fibre matters less than weight: aim for cloth under roughly 150 GSM for daytime heat.

Linen wins in humidity because it dries fast; cotton-linen blends crease less for formal cuts.

Dress for the commute and the AC: light layers solve the two-climate office day.

Pale, muted colours hide sweat better than bright white or solid black.

Open weaves, half-lined trousers and leather loafers without socks keep you cool and presentable.
