Work outfit ideas for the office
Summer work outfits
Summer is still in the air so don’t put the midi dresses away just yet. Breezy, comfortable midi work dresses are ideal to transition from WFH to working at the office. Add some edge to romantic, floral prints by pairing with chunky, closed toe sandals and a denim jacket for cooler evenings if you’re working late.
Transitional work outfits
Play with more layering in your wardrobe when the days become chillier. Midi skirts are a comfortable and chic option for both work and your commute. Wear with thick tights and layer turtlenecks under oversized cardis to make sure you stay warm as the temperature begins to drop. We’d recommend choosing an oversize work bag with lots of pockets, that way you can store your knitwear if you get too warm and you’ll be able to access your office essentials with ease.
Winter work outfits
You can never go wrong with a combo of tapered work trousers and knitted jumper. Balance this comfortable silhouette with structured accessories such as a large tote bag to hold your laptop and metallic hardware on your belt, earrings or necklace. A sleek watch always completes an outfit and gives an air of professionalism, and means you’re never late for meetings.
Professional work outfits
A smart, professional dress code entails clothing that is neat and traditional, but there’s always room to inject personality with colour and print – especially in your accessories. If your office has a smart dress code, we’d recommend tailored work blouses in neutral tones, and more traditional footwear. Statement necklaces and earrings can show a little of your character and incorporate colour to neutral clothing. You can even add fun prints and patterns through your handbag, too.
Casual work outfits
If your office prefers a casual dress code, it’s important to still present and maintain a professional appearance. Enter the utility jumpsuit. An all-in-one outfit that blends the comfort of sweatpants with a put-together finish, pair with chunky trainers and a chain necklace to create a bold and work-appropriate outfit.
After work drinks outfits
The key to an outfit that takes you from desk to drinks is all in the footwear. Heels are too uncomfortable, trainers too informal and sandals are too cold. However, these chunky loafers with a closed toe and flat sole are the perfect shoe for a day of work and an evening of socialising. Easy to wear with a suit, knit dress or jeans, pair with a tote bag with a heavy duty clasp to ensure your laptop stays safe once you’re out of the office and your everyday hoop earrings.
