The runways and street style scene are embracing the professional staples in refreshing ways that are sure to pull anyone out of their corporate style rut.
Many designers are turning office essentials into modern-day staples. For all of the need-to-know workwear trends (and how to style each one), keep scrolling.
The Professional Shirtdress
Thanks to their crisp collars, these dresses offer both a polished finish and a sense of ease. Wear yours with tall boots throughout the fall and your favorite trench coat.
The In(vest)ment
Whether worn with a blazer on top or a T-shirt underneath, the sleeveless vest or waistcoat is the office staple to have in your wardrobe. Wear it with matching trousers or add interest with a silky maxi skirt. The best part about this trend is you’ll want to wear it in and outside of the office, which makes it a worthy investment.
The A+ A-Line Skirt

The Wrapped With a Bow

The Red Hot Pop
Tomato Girl summer has entered the office, and she’s ready for fall. Play up your corporate style with bold pops of red by styling a vibrant sweater with your go-to trousers.
