Choosing an office suit starts with understanding your workplace dress code. A structured jacket with matching trousers or a skirt works well in formal settings, while a softer blazer and tailored trousers can suit a more relaxed office. Navy, charcoal and medium grey are practical starting colours because they pair easily with different shirts and blouses. Choose a style you will feel comfortable wearing through meetings, commuting and everyday tasks

Sun Protection for Women, Men and Children: Sunscreen, Sunglasses and Hats

Sun Protection for Women, Men and Children: Sunscreen, Sunglasses and Hats

For women, protecting skin and eyes from intense sunshine starts with products that feel comfortable enough to use every day. Choose a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sun cream with SPF 30 or higher; SPF 50 is a useful choice for strong sunshine. Select the texture according to your skin, rather than gender: a light lotion may suit oily skin, while a cream may feel better on dry skin. Apply generously before going outdoors and reapply every two hours, and after swimming, sweating or towel drying. Add UV400 sunglasses and a tightly woven, wide-brimmed hat that shades your face, ears and neck. See the American Academy of Dermatology’s sunscreen guidance.
