There’s no easy answer to the lingering daily question: what to wear to the office? But there are several smart tricks to try when shopping for the best office clothes for women.
If you’re planning to embark on a workwear-friendly wardrobe overhaul, shirting is a solid starting point. Look to soft materials to ease your way back into something resembling desk-side polish – we love styles from With Nothing Underneath and Simone Rocha – and for those of us who are ready to embrace some form of structure, then a trusty blazer looks both stylish and smart. Make The Frankie Shop your first port of call: the neutral shades are a Vogue editor favorite.
As for the Zoom-worthy trophy jewelry that saw us through lockdown? That can stay. After all, what better to way to make an entrance than with an eye-catching necklace? Here are Vogue’s favorite office clothes for women.
Tailoring You Can Trust
Blazers can smarten up even the simplest of looks. Find a style that fits well on your shoulders, and ensure that the length of the hemline and sleeves are just so.
Wear-Anywhere Trousers
If you’re yet to find the perfect pair of trousers, let Vogue’s selection be your first port of call. Remember: You can always tailor a pair that aren’t spot on.
Preppy Loafers
No back-to-work outfit is complete without a shiny new pair of shoes. Loafers are the footwear shape of choice among the street-style set: the preppier, the better.
Crisp Shirting
White shirts will forever be a classic wardrobe staple, but why not try a trendy color like zingy green or chocolate brown? Your colleagues will be asking for your outfit details.
