satin wedding guest dress Ink Blue Straps A-Line This stunning A Megan Sweetheart Slit Mermaid Floor

Burgundy Velvet Halter Dress, $108 Ooh, loving this velvet dress for bridesmaids

I went to a New York store and using its Highworth Burgundy Suit as a jumping-off point created a fashion-forward, Yves Saint Laurentinspired double-breasted suit in a patterned, deep burgundy fabric

Pants that tend to work well: Straight leg pants Bootcut silhouettes Mid rise or high rise with a smooth waistband Cropped styles that show ankle Structured fabrics with drape Avoid overly soft waistbands or ultra low rise cuts that create horizontal breaks

You can pair up these formal pants with a shirt, blazer, and stilettoes for an extraordinary formal office look or even with a formal top for that matter

Light colors also help by reflecting rather than absorbing sunlight

Size up in the jacket to allow for thicker layers
