This is my first summer working in Atlanta, and I'm realizing my current wardrobe (designed for living in the upper Midwest) probably won't cut it for this type of heat and humidity. Any recommendations for (female) clothing brands that actually hold up and keep you comfortable in an office setting down here? Seriously, I'm open to all suggestions!

I like dresses with a blazer.

Quince has well priced basics with solid quality. Be picky about fabric blends and dress in layers to accommodate dress code needs and temperature shifts with AC.

I moved from the Midwest, too, and it was a shock. Linen, cotton, and anything loose-fitting became my best friends. I’ve had good luck with Madewell and Old Navy for affordable options that still look professional.

Rent the runway is great. Also, banana republic, j crew factory, loft, Ann Taylor, etc. have good options.

Or would it usually be something a content or speech writer would do?
Either way, I’m happy to add the additional skill to my CV 😅
