Best Looks for a day at the office

You’ve heard it before and we’re saying it again—the pandemic has fundamentally changed how we work. If you’re one of the many people who regrets not buying stock in the sweatpant industry, you know that this extends to how we dress for work, too. 

Because of this, the concept of dressing for your day has never been more relevant. No meetings? No makeup. Zoom all day? Go ahead and wear a blouse with sweats. There are fewer rules than ever. Some jobs and occasions dictate a professional dress code, so the classic blazer and Oxford button-down shirt aren’t going anywhere. But when there’s more wiggle room, there’s more opportunity to have fun. Blazers instantly tie a look together cleanly, whether they’re worn with jeans, faux-leather pants, or even joggers. A suede moto jacket plays a similar role to the blazer but with even more personality. Pop one on with a midi skirt for an unexpected but put-together look. We’re here for work-appropriate looks that make you feel comfortable and like you.

Here are a few outfit ideas real-life ladies love for a range of dressing-for-your-day scenarios.

“I call this my mullet look—business on the top, party on the bottom. But seriously, it’s perfect for being on video calls where I need to look professional from the waist up and want to be super comfy at the same time. It’s a fun juxtaposition of trendy denim and a traditional blazer.” – an Evie

“I have to dress professionally for work, and this outfit is a great way to add some personality to classic pieces. Tucking this oversized shirt into faux-leather pants gives me more of a waist, which I love, and the fits and fabrics keep it fun, not stuffy.” – a Shelly

“I never thought velvet could be this flattering, but the drape of this skirt hits me just right. I don’t have to dress up too much for work, but I’ve missed wearing pretty outfits. It’s fun (and practical!) to have a skirt that I can dress up or down, like with this casual jacket.”  – an Evie
