They keep mine at 75. All year around. I am dying of the heat.

If I have to both be outside, schlepping to the metro, and then inside in the air-conditioned office, I will typically wear linen pants and a lightweight shirt. I keep a sweater in the office. Sometimes I wear a dress, but in that case by the end of the day, my legs are usually freezing.

Because they must accommodate MEN who "NEED" to wear suits

It says the models are 5'9". The dresses go right to the knees. So for anyone shorter than that, it would go below knee. There's no petite option. Am I missing something?

RIP Brooks Brothers petites. The dress length is 42 Inches. I am 5'5" and 38 inches takes a dress to about mid-knee. I own this dress and it is about three inches below my knees.

Me too! I used to love the heat of summer so much over winter. I still hate winter but I'm much more comfortable at 70-80 degrees than anything over 85+.
