SUMMER CORPORATE AND WORKWEAR www.images-magazine.com 66 images MARCH 2018 Disley: Kildare Shirt “How do you keep your cool in the office when temperatures rise?” asks Disley. “For the many places where shorts and flips flops just don’t work, there are some fundamentals to stick to: light colours, cool fabrics and short sleeves.” Disley recommends the fresh, cool stripe of the Kildare shirt (pictured) and Nuala blouse, where white predominates with the broken stripe adding interest, and the cotton- rich stretch blend of the Orla blouse and Tramore shirt, which are said to be lightweight, soft and cooling. www.disley.com Castle Clothing: Elite Trouser New for 2018 from Castle Clothing is a lightweight summer trouser, the Elite (727).
