16 Tops You Can Wear to Work When It's So Hot Outside

If dressing for work wasn’t hard enough, it’s definitely not made any easier by rising temperatures. While in the colder months you can throw on a blazer or wear a turtleneck under almost anything to make it office-appropriate, when summer hits and your morning commute is on the stickier side, that’s not going to cut it.

The good news is that today we’ve rounded up 16 of the best work tops for summer to keep you cool, both literally and figuratively. Think sleeveless styles light in both color and material and some extra-roomy silhouettes. 

You can thank us later, but for now, scroll through to start shopping!

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
