“I love working in the summer, there are no bosses and no one interrupts me”: in defense of going to the office in August

Every season, style magazines publish guides on how to dress for summer in the office without dying of heat during the commute (this one, for example, is ours), or of cold while the air conditioning is blasting. For instance, a year ago, journalist Amaia Odriozola recommended S Moda readers to keep a knitted sweater in a drawer and also recalled that if so many series or movies set in offices like Mad Men or House of Cards repeat gags about female workers who are cold and bosses who turn the air conditioning up to the max, it's because "that connects with a situation that's almost universal in the corporate life of women: while it's scorching hot outside, work seems like the Arctic".
