Headed back to the office<\/a> after a COVID hiatus, or starting a job in an office for the first time this spring or summer<\/a>? Cool! But, what are you going to wear?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"white

Things can get tricky when it\u2019s hot outside but the AC is blasting inside, and you want to look and feel your best but also<\/em> need to dress professionally. You don\u2019t want to freeze all day in shorts and a crop top<\/a>, but you also don\u2019t want to sweat every time you step outside in a thick sweater and jeans<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"pink

Luckily, today\u2019s office environments are way more inclusive than they have been in the past, so unless you\u2019re working somewhere like a hospital or a law firm, you can get away with wearing just about anything– within reason, of course.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Work isn\u2019t always fun, but it can be a whole lot more bearable if you are dressed comfortably and in a way that represents your personal style. You deserve to feel like you are welcome in your workplace no matter what, so don\u2019t hesitate to inject some of your personality into your work outfits.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re short on ideas for what to wear to the office, don\u2019t stress, we\u2019ve got a few simple outfit tips to help you start experimenting with your workplace fashion!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pants & a T-Shirt<\/h2>\n
\"white
Shop the Look:<\/strong> Gotta Have It White Crop Top<\/a>, Just Wing It Khaki Paperbag Waist Cropped Pants<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What? So simple? Yes! A work outfit can literally just be pants<\/a> and a <\/span>t-shirt<\/a> if that\u2019s what you\u2019re most comfortable in. Make this look a touch more interesting by choosing a pair of <\/span>wide-legged pants<\/a>, <\/span>which are so trendy right now, especially in an unexpected color or a fun print. Wide-legged pants are also more comfortable for sitting in all day, which is essential when working in an office.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"pink
Shop the Look:<\/strong> Mojave 1982 Black Graphic Cropped Tee<\/a>, Trend Alert Light Pink Belted High-Waisted Wide-Leg Pants<\/a>, Dr. Martens Jadon White Leather 8-Eye Platform Boot<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A sleek solid tee almost always works (bonus points for special details like twisted hems, flutter sleeves, and more)!l If your office is a more casual work environment, try styling a graphic t-shirt with a pair of jeans or wide-leg pants. Add simple gold <\/span>jewelry<\/span><\/a> to elevate this look; we like <\/span>chunky <\/span>rings<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>dainty necklaces<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>charm bracelets<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"blue
Shop the Look:<\/strong> I’m the One Blue and White Striped Shirt Dress<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Remember: Every office is different, so take a few days to feel out the vibes if you aren\u2019t given specific dress code information. Most office spaces are pretty chill about what you wear, just so long as you are respectful of others and getting your work done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Layered Business Casual<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
\"marigold
Shop the Look: Naturally Chic Marigold Yellow Tie-Front Long Sleeve Blazer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The words \u201cbusiness casual\u201d don\u2019t exactly inspire a lot of excitement, but if you learn to pair pieces together creatively, you can have a lot of fun with color blocking, texture, and of course: layering! Layering business casual pieces like <\/span>button-up blouse<\/span><\/a> with a <\/span>breezy cami<\/span><\/a> or a <\/span>dressy top<\/span><\/a> with a <\/span>cozy cardigan<\/span><\/a> is an easy way to make simple items more interesting. For example, if you love the simple \u2018pants and a t-shirt look but want to make it more businessy, you can layer with a <\/span>blazer<\/span><\/a>!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"red
Shop the Look:<\/strong> Miss Punctuality Red Lightweight Blazer<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Layering is also a good way to outwit the weather. Get too warm? Take off a layer. Too chilly? Add a layer back on. Even if you don\u2019t dress in layers every day, you should consider always having a <\/span>sweater<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>sweatshirt<\/span><\/a> at your desk to avoid catching a chill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"beige
Shop the Look:<\/strong> Layers of Lovely Beige Knit Cardigan Sweater<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lots of companies allow their employees to decorate their desks, and keep items in them while they\u2019re out of the office. Having a few extra layers on hand like a sweater or even a pair of thick cozy socks can help you feel more at home in your office space.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrap Dresses<\/h2>\n
\"blue
Shop the Look:<\/strong> Maretta Blue and White Floral Print Wrap Midi Dress<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What makes a <\/span>wrap dress<\/span><\/a> the ideal dress for the office? The fact that it\u2019s adjustable, of course. Like wide-leg pants, wrap dresses are comfortable to wear all day, whether you\u2019re sitting at a desk, presenting in the boardroom, or running errands for yourself and your coworkers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Wrap dresses are cute and floaty, so they give nice movement, and are easy to style. For even more comfort and freedom, wear a pair of <\/span>biker shorts<\/span><\/a> under your wrap dress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Forget Shoes<\/h2>\n
\"white
Shop the Look:<\/strong> Jaelyn White Crocodile Embossed Pointed-Toe Slides<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Figuring out what shoes to wear to the office is maybe the most difficult part of getting dressed for work, but there\u2019s no reason to overthink this part!\u00a0 <\/span>To decide what shoes you should be wearing to the office, ask yourself these two questions:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Will I spend more time walking or standing today?<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Do I feel like making a statement, or wearing an old-standby?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Easy! If you\u2019ll be spending more time seated or at a desk, wear something cute and comfortable like a pair of <\/span>mules<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>low heels<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"croc
    Shop the Look:<\/strong> Bonnie Cream Crocodile-Embossed Pointed-Toe Ankle Boot<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    If you\u2019ll be spending more time on your feet, wear something that gives you support like a pair of sneakers<\/a> or ankle boots<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"black
    Shop the Look:<\/strong> Trifecta Black Chain Platform Loafers<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    We also love platforms<\/a> and chunky shoes for the office, since they add a little Y2K<\/a> sparkle to the average work fit.\u00a0Choose color, fabric, and style based on how you\u2019re feeling that day, then head out and be your best!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
