Whether you’re just starting to head back to the office or have been making the commute for a while, you could probably use some outfit inspiration.

KhaiteKhaite Amelie pants in heather gray$1380
A crisp oxford paired with wide-leg trousers is a quintessential office outfit, but tricky to get just right. Elevate this combo with a great pair of pumps and some personalized jewelry.

Show a bit of personality with a fabulous printed dress, but keep it comfortable with a pair of dressy flats. Mismatched earrings continue the artsy theme.
A low-heel boot is no substitute for a sneaker, but it gets the balance between comfort and style just right. A denim dress offers an interesting mix of textures and is chic to, well, boot.
RAG & BONERag & Bone Nina high-rise flared jeans$198
If you like to keep your office look sleek and to the point, you can’t go wrong with mixing classic shirting, straight-leg pants, and a sharp double-breasted blazer. This says “I’m here to get the job done.”

When you need to look put-together but have no time to do it, reach for a set. A printed silk pajama suit—emphasis on the “suit” part—is office-ready thanks to the button-up shirt with a sharp collar.
A tweed jacket is classic for a reason. It adds a bit of sophistication to any outfit, but designers have found ways recently to make it feel a little more youthful via braided trims, sequins, and grosgrain bows.
The most classic office outfit gets a refresh thanks to a shorter hemline. Balance out your mini with an oversized jacket, a buttoned-up shirt, or cool flats.
Your office bag doesn’t have to be an afterthought. Bring it to the forefront of your outfit by choosing a shoulder bag or top-handle in a zingy shade of poppy. Brighten up your day and your cubicle.
As working from home on a part-time or full-time basis becomes increasingly common, technology is more crucial than ever to do our jobs. Why not look beautiful while using it as well?
