Eight Wear to Work Outfits that Will Have You Happy to be Back in the Office

Be the best-dressed at your office…

When I started working as a personal stylist hosiery was often required, open-toe shoes were a no-no, and an interview meant you should wear a 2 piece suit.

Over the past ten years though work wear has been trending more casual and ever since Covid, with everyone getting comfortable working from home, things have gotten even more relaxed.

With that in mind I found some great business casual items that will have you on-trend in the office. Keep scrolling to see the looks I put together…

Outfit Details:Linen Dress | Heeled Sandal | Tote Bag

This shirred linen dress from Vince is my favorite shape. I can put anyone in an A-line, no matter their body type. I also adore a feminine retro-style, something I can spin in (I can’t help it). You can change out the belt on this dress, cinch the waist or leave it loose. The open toe sandal works great with the dress. You could also add a blazer or cardigan along with a classic pump for a more traditional look.
