Dressing for work during the winter months can be extremely difficult. Most of us just want to wrap up in a few fuzzy blankets, throw on some boots, and plop down at our desks.
Sadly, creating your own cocoon is frowned upon in the workplace, so we have to opt for layering up while attempting to continue to be our stylish selves.
Read on for a few foolproof formulas for chic, office-appropriate outfits.
Formula #1: Sweater + Midi Skirt + Stiletto Boots
This look is both functional and chic. Pairing the midi skirt with boots allows you to layer up with a few pairs of tights, leggings, or even jeans underneath. Tuck your sweater in and add a belt for a sleek look or allow it to stay untucked so that it hits at the hipline and adds depth to your ensemble.
Formula #2: Two-Piece Set or Suit + Coordinating Outwear
This look makes you look like you have it all together (even if you do not)! Pair your favorite vibrant Spring two-piece set (or suit) with a coordinating trench coat or fur. They do not even have to be an exact match (but kudos if they are). Look how this fabulous fashionista paired a lilac coat with periwinkle pants and an eggplant-purple sweater.
Obviously, colorful clothes are not just for the spring and summer months.
Formula #3: Chunky Sweater + Wide Leg Jeans
This look is perfect for casual Friday! Once again, it is a great outfit for layering. The chunky sweater gives you a comfy cozy feel while tucked into flattering jeans for a polished look. Contrary to the skinny jeans, wide-leg jeans are considered demure and slightly more appropriate for the workplace.
It is super helpful to have a go-to workwear formula because it makes our mornings that much easier. It turns each morning into an easy 1-2-3, go! Imagine how much time you will be able to save (snooze through) with these go-to looks practically waiting for you in your wardrobe.
