<strong>Peplum: </strong>This has been worn on the runways and by celebrity trendsetters including Solange, who wore a <strong><a href="http://www.peoplestylewatch.com/people/stylewatch/gallery/0,,20593691_21156909,00.html#21156842" target="_blank">bright yellow peplum gown</a></strong> by Rachel Roy to this year’s Met Gala<strong></strong>. You can take this look to work with a peplum top like <strong><a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-us-S2012/189508/788519/TOP%2BWITH%2BFRILL%2BAT%2BTHE%2BHIP" target="_blank">this Zara option</a></strong> ($59.90), and match it with a pencil skirt and a skinny belt.
<strong>Colored pants: </strong>This may seem a bit risque, but when paired with the right pieces, colored pants can add that wow style statement to an office look. Skinny trousers such as these from <strong><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/tahari-by-asl-pants-skinny-trousers?ID=689719" target="_blank">Tahari by ASL</a></strong> ($89) do the trick, and be color-blocked with a bright top or coupled with a matching blazer.
<strong>Floral prints:</strong> While head-to-toe floral print may be better suited for weekend or afterwork leisure, you can still get in on the fun around the office with this <strong><a href="http://us.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33060&storeId=13052&productId=5851267&langId=-1&categoryId=&searchTerm=Longsleeve%20Floral%20Shirt&pageSize=20" target="_blank">floral shirt from Topshop</a></strong> ($80), which you can layer under a suit or pair with a neutral-hued cardigan.
<strong>Neon: </strong>Many designers and celebs have an <strong><a href="http://globalgrind.com/style/hot-def-solange-shines-canary-spins-tiffanys-photos">affinity for bright colors</a></strong>, so the neon trend is definitely a hot one. Add pops of color to your work wardrobe with vibrant pieces such as this <strong><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/juicy-couture-neon-blazer/3280472" target="_blank">Juicy Couture neon blazer</a></strong> ($278).
<strong>Lace: </strong>You can take a more conservative spin on the lace overlay trend with this <strong><a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi28854" target="_blank">lace pencil skirt from Talbots</a></strong> ($119). Pair it with a fitted blazer, or a flowy, feminine blouse (or both) to get that polished yet demure look in the office.
During summer, it’s important to keep your feet cool and good looking. ash sandal are ideal for the hot months.
