Rock Your Signature Look All Year Round
While we’d love to be stylish at the office, it’s hard to know where the line is sometimes. Is a leather wrap skirt too much or can you salvage it with the right accessories? Are floral midi dresses too inappropriate? Don’t worry—we’re here to help!
1. Linen Short Sleeve Shirt
Anytime is a good time for casual, comfortable clothes. Short-sleeved linens keep you cool and maintain professionalism in the workplace. Pairing it with a wide pantleg or breezy skirt makes it a chic look perfect for the office.
2. Floral Midi Dress
Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking. Jokes aside, florals actually are a timeless look that every coworker enjoys. You have dozens of options to choose from and can style those buds with cute accessories. Belts, earrings, or a great clutch always go with flowing midis.
3. White Shirt and Denim Skirt
If your office is a bit more relaxed, feel free to bust out the denim. Try a button-down white shirt tucked into a denim skirt—it’s a seamless look that matches nearly any professional space. It also doubles as a cute outfit for drinks after hours.
4. Wide-Leg Trousers
Though office spaces usually have comfortable temperatures, you never know what the day will bring. Beat any heat with wide-leg trousers. They work beautifully with platform sneakers or bold blouses, but can also be styled with classic button-downs and blazers.
5. Blazer and Pleated Skirt
Speaking of blazers, don’t be afraid to pair yours with a standout piece. Pleated skirts fit in any workplace and come in a variety of lengths, allowing you a chance to rock midi or even short styles. Pop on a blazer for an added touch of sophistication!
6. Something Satin
Is there anything better than satin-soft clothes? Whether it’s a shirt, a dress, or a cream skirt, this dreamy material is perfect for the office and your personal comfort. They also go great with sweaters, so don’t worry about any clashing.
7. Oversized Suit
We know it seems a little ‘90s to walk into the office in an oversized suit, but they’re still quite stylish! If you don’t want to rock an entire suit, an oversized blazer works just as well with form-fitting pants and a sleek pump.
8. Bold Prints
Turn that carpeted office space into your personal catwalk! Bold prints and colors don’t belong in your closet—strut your stuff in loud hues like fuschia or red to dress up an otherwise drab outfit. Bold dress prints also show off your personality professionally.
9. Midi Dress and Denim Jacket
It sounds a little casual on the surface, but this duo actually crosses into elevated casual and it’s a terrific look for your 9-5. Stick to form-fitting dresses for a sleeker look, and don’t be afraid to slip into a comfortable pair of shoes.
10. Crop Top and High-Waisted Bottom
Though crop tops seem inappropriate, they make a stunning workplace ensemble with high-waisted bottoms. Cute skirts or wide-leg pants hide your midriff and complete that office-friendly look.
11. Long Pencil Skirt
Is there any look more classic than a pencil skirt? Tuck an elegant white blouse into your midi length skirt or pair it with a stylish blazer. Turtlenecks, silk scarves, and oversized belts also make beautiful accessories!
12. Wrap Dress
Wrap dresses appropriately show off your figure, making them a smart choice for professional settings. They bring a touch of sophistication to any office and won’t need more than a good pair of shoes to complete the look.

13. Shirtdress
On the other hand, if you’re looking for a more casual ensemble, shirtdresses easily accomplish the same form-fitting look. Choose between oversized pinstripe or asymmetric cotton—either way, you’ll look fab in the office.

14. Cable Knit Sweater
Nothing beats the cold like a good cable knit sweater. Not only are they forever fashionable, but they’re also terrific tops with just about any bottom. Wide-leg pants, satin skirts, and even casual denim expertly match our favorite winter piece.
15. Collarless Blazer
While it’s fun to pop our collars, some blazers look just as chic without one. Style one with wide-leg pants or a phenomenal leather purse to maintain a polished look, now with a creative flair.

16. Ribbed Pullover
Washed-out denim or sleek pencil skirts, it doesn’t matter! Ribbed pullovers keep you warm and dress up any bottom you choose. They also come in different lengths, so don’t be shy about pairing shorter ones with high-waisted bottoms.
17. Faux Fur
Whether as a collar or a full-blown coat, faux fur looks good on anyone. Stick with wide-leg trousers for a more business-casual look, and don’t forget accessories like shoes and purses! These coats also work overtime to keep out the bitter winter wind.
18. Wool Trench Coat
Fur isn’t for everyone, but that doesn’t mean you’re without options. Trench coats are a closet must-have, and wool sits beautifully over any outfit. There’s no shortage of cute accessories either, like leather gloves and knit toques.
19. Velvet Blazer
Don’t leave velvet in the past! This material only enhances color, giving you a rich look to rock with jeans and pumps or a pleated skirt and flats. They’re also more affordable than you think, which opens the door to stylish outfits that don’t break the bank.
20. Bold Turtleneck
With turtlenecks, the world is your oyster. From ribbed cotton in bold colors to breathable material in classy hues, you’ll be the talk of the office no matter what you choose. Don’t limit your bottoms either—turtlenecks go with anything from slacks to leather skirts.
