Imagine being able to take snow days as an adult, just like you did when you were a kid. Unfortunately, the working world doesn’t quite offer the same flexibility. However, just because you have to show up at the office every morning doesn’t mean you can’t feel like you’re stepping out of a fashion magazine. In fact, we’re here to help make that happen with some stylish and practical winter outfits designed specifically for work.
“Casual Friday” attire
As we dive into the concept of ‘Casual Friday’, let’s start by acknowledging that it can be a game-changer for getting through the rest of the week. While dress codes may vary, one way to still incorporate jeans into your wardrobe without raising any eyebrows is to opt for colored or black pairs. The key is to find a balance between keeping things relaxed and respecting your workplace’s standards – a crucial consideration in today’s professional landscape.
Brown blazer and slacks with tan long sleeve ruffled blouse
As I navigate the job market, I’ve come to detest the conventional wisdom surrounding interview attire. Why must one sacrifice personal expression for the sake of professionalism? For me, finding a balance between the two has been a game-changer. Brown is a hue that exudes comfort and warmth, making it an excellent choice for an interview outfit. Not only does it create a sense of ease in the room, but it also allows me to showcase my personality while still appearing polished.
A brown blazer paired with slacks and a tan long-sleeve ruffled blouse is one way I’ve found to achieve this balance.
Dark flared jeans and lots of brown accessories
When it comes to dressing down yet still looking professional, dark flared jeans are a great option. The key is to ensure they meet your boss’s standards of being ‘business appropriate’. To achieve this, opt for dark blue flare jeans that can be paired with an abundance of brown accessories. The contrast between the darker denim and warm-toned accessories creates a stylish and put-together look that’s unlikely to raise any eyebrows – only garner praise.
Grey slacks, royal blue tank and white cardigan
Winter workwear doesn’t have to be dull with a stylish combination like grey slacks paired with a royal blue tank top and a crisp white cardigan. This harmonious trio of colors is not only aesthetically pleasing but also a great way to add some warmth and coziness to your winter wardrobe. The real showstopper, however, is the animal print bag that adds a touch of sophistication and brings the entire look together.
White and taupe with red accessories
As the holiday season approaches, you may notice an increase in the presence of vibrant red hues. However, to create a more unique and intriguing atmosphere, consider introducing complementary colors that aren’t typically associated with Christmas. A subtle yet striking option is the earthy tone of taupe, which provides a beautiful contrast to the boldness of red.
“Matchy match” with black accessories
At first glance, incorporating black accessories into an outfit dominated by shades of grey might seem like too much of the same hue. However, this style choice is actually part of a current fashion trend where everything is worn in a single colour. The key to pulling off this look successfully lies in ensuring that the accessories are a different solid color from the clothing.
Sweater dress (with a low V-neck)
When it comes to sweater dresses with low V-necks, there’s a fine line between dressing for a date and dressing for the office. If you’re looking to make a bold statement and show off your style, this type of dress is perfect for a night out. However, if you need to tone things down for work, consider layering a tank top underneath. Not only will it add an extra layer of modesty, but it’ll also provide a nice contrast between the casual top and the more formal sweater dress.
Fitted grey embroidered dress with red jewelry, purse and pumps
When walking into the office, make a statement with an embroidered dress like this one. For maximum impact, ensure the dress is tailored to perfection by trying it on before purchasing. To truly elevate the look, choose bold accessories like red jewelry and pumps, which will draw attention and create a striking visual effect.
Black dress, tan brim and brown leather cross body bag
The harmony between black and tan creates a timeless ensemble that effortlessly blends fashion and comfort. This outfit’s understated elegance makes it perfect for both formal and casual occasions. The addition of a brown leather cross-body bag adds a touch of sophistication, while the brimmed hat ensures your hair remains effortless all day long.
Black sleeveless dress, light brown cardigan and brown riding boots
The combination of a black sleeveless dress, light brown cardigan, and brown riding boots exudes an effortless youthful charm. The unique pairing of these pieces has caught our attention, not just for its visual appeal, but also because it cleverly incorporates two current trends: clutch purses are all the rage, and monogrammed accessories have become a must-have item. This ensemble is a masterclass in blending styles, resulting in an outfit that is both stylish and relatable.
All black with tri-color coat
Elevate your style by embracing a single, striking hue. For instance, pair an all-black ensemble with a show-stopping tri-color coat and matching handbag. The bold, contrasting stripes will instantly command attention, making you feel like the CEO of the entire company – regardless of your actual title.
Pink, grey and black
The instant you gaze upon this harmonious blend of pink, grey, and black, your face can’t help but brighten up. There’s an undeniable charm to this color combination that exudes a quintessential touch of femininity and warmth. When you add a dash of sophistication with the incorporation of black, the overall effect is nothing short of captivating, leaving you with an irrepressible urge to smile.
Navy blue blouse, white pencil skirt and brown accessories
While it may be debatable whether it’s fair to be considered the sexiest woman at work, one thing is certain – a navy blue blouse paired with a crisp white pencil skirt and complemented by earthy brown accessories will undoubtedly make you stand out from the crowd. The harmonious color combination not only adds a touch of sophistication but also proves that winter doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your lighter-hued wardrobe staples.
It’s all about finding the perfect balance between contrasting pieces, as demonstrated here.
Plaid pencil skirt and “Christmas” scarf
Black and white herringbone
The versatility of herringbone patterns has earned them a spot on this season’s must-have list. In particular, we’re loving its sleek, monochromatic iteration – think black and white herringbone prints. When it comes to styling, we’re particularly fond of pairing it with a pencil skirt, which creates a chic, put-together look. If you’re looking for a more dramatic option, consider incorporating the pattern into a statement winter coat instead.
Aztec print mini skirt and suede calf boots
With the current high fashion status of Aztec print, incorporating an Aztec print mini skirt into your outfit is a great idea. To tone down the boldness of the pattern, pair it with some dark-colored opaque tights to create a chic and sophisticated look. For shoes, opt for ankle, calf or knee boots that will not only elongate your legs but also complement the vibrant Aztec print.
Jean dress and button down cable knit sweater (with floral scarf)
While a jean dress can typically fly under your boss’s radar, adding a professional touch is always a good idea. To create an ‘office appropriate’ look, pair the dress with a cable knit sweater that adds texture and visual interest. Brown leather accessories will bring warmth and sophistication to the overall ensemble. Finally, inject some personality into the outfit with a printed scarf and a beaded bangle to add a touch of whimsy.
Grey off-the shoulder knit dress with brown aviator leather jacket
The combination of grey and brown is a harmonious match that works surprisingly well together. While the overall look may lean towards a more conservative approach, it can easily be elevated by a well-fitted knit dress, statement shoes, and a bold brown aviator leather jacket like this one, which adds a touch of sophistication to the entire ensemble.
Black-and-white sweater dress with burgundy coat
The simplicity of a black-and-white sweater dress is elevated by the boldness of a burgundy coat, creating a striking contrast that’s perfect for making a statement. The monochromatic tones of the sweater dress provide a versatile canvas for adding pops of color through accessories or layers, while the rich hue of the coat adds depth and sophistication to the overall look.
Green, grey and black combo
While experimenting with unconventional color combinations may seem daunting at first, the harmony between green, grey, and black can lead to a surprisingly stylish outcome. Imagine pairing a bold green top with sleek grey slacks or vice versa – the result is likely to garner admiring glances from your colleagues. The unusual combination will not only showcase your creativity but also create a unique visual identity that sets you apart.
Grey knit dress and floral infinity scarf
The grey knit dress is a versatile piece that can be worn by anyone, regardless of their size or body type. Its flattering design makes it suitable for all figures, whether you’re expecting or not. However, if you choose to wear this dress in a neutral shade like grey (or black), be mindful of your accessory choices. Avoid pairing it with white or brown, as the combination might appear dull. Instead, opt for bolder colors that can add some visual interest.
When it comes to scarves, go for busy prints that can add an extra layer of depth and dimension to your overall look.
Taupe sweater dress with shades of brown accessories
The taupe sweater dress, with its rich brown hues, forms the perfect canvas for a versatile accessories ensemble. And here’s the beauty of it – there’s no need to worry about matching pieces. Instead, focus on creating a harmonious mix that complements each other perfectly. Sunglasses, in particular, are an essential finishing touch for any outfit, regardless of the season.
