8 outfit ideas to wear to the office:
-
Button-up shirt with pants:
Let’s start with the basics, a button-up shirt with pants or trousers. This is a very common work attire let’s see how you can style it.

White classic shirt with statement pants:
Tired of wearing the same boring jeans every day? Switch things up and pair your white classic shirt with statement pants.
Now from statement pants I mean you should go for some colour. You can also opt for prints but as this is a work outfit we can’t go wild. Vertical stripes will be enough if you want to go for prints. However, going with colour will give a more polished and work-appropriate look.
-

This look has a very feminine vibe to it. It’s pretty comfortable yet stylish and office appropriate. Pair your midi skirt with a sweater if it’s cold or with a shirt or a top in summer. Add a few accessories and tie your hair neatly. See how elegant this outfit looks.

A dress on its own might not look that office appropriate, but if you add a blazer to it, boom it’s perfect for the office. You can do this with both bodycon dresses and with those having a little flare.
This outfit is ideal for work events where you want to look fancy but professional as well. Let’s look at the pictures.

Shirt dress:
Next on the list, we have a shirt dress. In my opinion, this is one of the essential clothing pieces for the office wardrobe. Why? Because it combines the button-up shirt with a dress. From the top, it looks like a shirt but from the bottom, it’s a little bit of flare.
This is perfect for summer as it doesn’t require layering. Add a belt to accessorize it and you’re done.
-
Printed top with straight trousers:
