Hello there! Do you ever find yourself facing the challenge of workwear, especially when your workplace has a less casual dress code? It can be tricky to avoid falling into the routine of wearing the same type of outfit repeatedly. But fear not! I’ve discovered a fantastic solution that allows me to incorporate staple pieces from my wardrobe while adding a fresh twist.
Let’s start with the versatile maxi denim skirt, a surprisingly chic option for the office when paired with a crisp white shirt or a simple cardigan. I opted for my trusty Mango Maxi skirt in light blue, which exudes both elegance and comfort. Teamed with an oversized Oxford shirt from Zara, it creates a polished yet relaxed look that’s perfect for the workplace.
Next up, the timeless trench coat—an essential for the transitional seasons. Instead of the traditional full-length style, I chose a cropped version in camel from Zara. This modern take on a classic piece adds a contemporary edge to any outfit, effortlessly elevating your professional style.
Now, let’s talk accessories. I completed this ensemble with a pair of chic brown suede boots featuring a small block heel, also from Zara. Their understated elegance perfectly complements the overall look. As for my bag choice, I opted for the mini Neo Noé in the canvas monogram—a departure from the typical workwear tote, but ideal for days when I don’t need to lug my laptop around. For those occasions that require more carrying capacity, a larger tote is my go-to option.
Incorporating high and low pieces is key to achieving a sophisticated yet modern workwear aesthetic. By mixing classic staples with contemporary twists, you can effortlessly elevate your office attire.
