It's a year-round challenge finding outfits that meet both office and fashion-girl standards, but once the Summer rolls around? Things get even trickier. In your mind, a scorcher means something cute and cool, like a romper and a simple pair of flip-flops. Your boss, on the other hand, might be less than thrilled to spot you in your cube styled for the beach.

So rather than risk a chat with HR, make a few swaps before heading out. Read on for nine items to trade those Summer staples for, keeping everyone happy as things heat up.
