Back-to-Office Outfit Inspiration From the Pages of Vogue
BY SARAH SPELLINGSEDITED BY RICKIE DE SOLE
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.
The new uniform
EverlaneEverlane Japanese oxford shirt$47
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.
The ’70s Classics
NordstromNili Lotan Tanner trench coat$747
Moda operandiVictoria Victoria Beckham high-rise cotton-chino flared pants$475
Fall staples unite in this fail-safe combination. You can easily wear any piece of this outfit off-duty too.
The Printed Dress
MYTHERESARixo Aoife paisley-print silk dress$381
MATCHESFASHION.COMErdem Tillie floral-embroidered jersey dress$1815
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.
The Commuter Look
NET-A-PORTERChloé recycled denim midi shirtdress$1695
SSENSEJuun.J black leather thigh-high boots$650
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.
The Tailored Trio
MATCHESFASHION.COMBalmain double-breasted virgin wool-twill blazer$1870
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.”
The Casual Friday
LA DOUBLEJLa DoubleJ boy shirt in silk twill$640
LA DOUBLEJLa DoubleJ palazzo pants in silk twill$780
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.
The Fail-Safe Set
FARFETCHCommission plaid cropped sweater$870
FARFETCHCommission plaid merino wool midi-skirt$705
See my aforementioned feelings on sets. In the fall and winter, matching knit tops and skirts or pants make for an easy and on-trend look.
The Not-So-Traditional Tweed
MATCHESFASHION.COMSelf Portrait faux pearl button checked twill jacket$425
MATCHESFASHION.COMGiambattista Valli braided-trim checked bouclé jacket$3700
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 Skirt Suit
NET-A-PORTERAdam Lippes embellished cotton miniskirt$690
NET-A-PORTERAdam Lippes embellished cotton jacket$1290
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.
The Pop-of-Color Handbag
NordstromSaint Laurent Maillon leather shoulder bag$2650
MATCHESFASHION.COMStaud Scotty leather shoulder bag$325
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.
