Women's Office Outfits: 5 Evergreen Pieces to Start With
How to dress in the office? The dress code can put you in difficulty: here are 5 elements around which to build your outfits, from formal to casual
Choosing an office outfit is never easy, and if we have spent the last two years working from home, perhaps we have lost the habit of racking our brains over how to dress in the office .
Yet, our office look says a lot about us, as always when it comes to clothes, but beyond this, clothing must be appropriate to the place where we work.
In some cases, companies have a real dress code for employees: in this case there is no escape, when we choose office attire we have little room for maneuver.
But the dress code may not be written down in black and white : there are companies or roles where the style can be informal and casual, and companies where sneakers and jeans are not recommended, or are not recommended for those who hold certain roles . For example, those who work in contact with customers may be required to wear formal clothing.
The same goes for working from home. Just because you don’t have to go out to work doesn’t mean you can wear a sweatpants in front of your laptop, especially if you have a call with your boss scheduled.
However, wearing office outfits does not necessarily mean being uncomfortable and feeling ill at ease: there are some very versatile pieces around which you can build an office look without giving up your own style and personality, which yes, we also communicate through clothing and is capable of passing through the clothing we choose.
The White Shirt: Not Just an Office Outfit
Classic, timeless, very versatile, suitable for both an office look and other less formal occasions: your wardrobe can never be without a white shirt .
If the office requires more formal attire, you can pair a white shirt with black trousers and a black jacket .
If you can afford to be a little more casual, you can pair jeans and a sweater .
The Blazer: To Cover Your Back in the Office
A versatile item to always have in your wardrobe is the blazer : you can pair it with jeans, leggings, dresses and even shorts.
In the office, it will allow you to attend meetings while covering your shoulders if you decide to wear short sleeves or a slightly more pronounced neckline.
You can pair a cream or black blazer with black trousers or, if the context allows, with patterned trousers.
It is also perfect to combine with a white shirt or, for warmer days, with a top .
How to be elegant in the office? Dresses and sheath dresses
Even a little black dress or sheath dress can save you a lot of time in the morning when you have to choose your office outfit : for example, you could pair a long-sleeved black dress or a slightly shorter black dress with elbow-length sleeves with shoes and accessories in your favorite color to brighten up your look and your day.
The important thing is that they are not too short, low-cut or transparent: aiming for sobriety is always more appropriate as well as simpler.
How to dress for work while remaining casual, but not too much? Jeans
You probably have jeans in your closet. They are perhaps the ultimate casual item, but can you wear them to the office? The answer is, as usual, it depends!
In the meantime, it is advisable to avoid worn, torn or overly worn jeans: we are always in the office and however informal we may be, it is better not to overdo it.
For example, you could pair a pair of skinny flared jeans with a pair of heels and a blazer.
Or light jeans with a t-shirt and a jacket.
If you're feeling particularly brave, you could also think about colored jeans , perhaps with a white t-shirt.
Jacket and trousers: the great classic… in the original version
A great classic of elegant and formal clothing is the suit: instead of the usual black suit you can also try a white jacket combined with a black top.
If you want to bring a little happiness to the office with bright colors (we talked about it in this post dedicated to the World Day of Happiness ) dare with a red jacket with pants of the same color or yellow . Even for the yellow jacket there are pants of the same color .
These are 5 evergreen elements around which you can build office outfits from formal to casual, with all the nuances in between.
Work contexts are the most varied, much depends on who is higher up and makes the decisions. This also concerns the way of dressing, but this does not mean that you have to give up your personality, color, and comfort.
In the office you don't just spend your working time: you bring your skills, abilities, you build human relationships. Our personality cannot be overlooked, and even our office outfit must be consistent.
