Who said the office siren trend had to mean a black suit and white shirt? To head back to the office in style, we’re opting instead for easy-to-wear pieces, a distinctly Parisian aesthetic and, above all, looks that are chic enough to take you from a meeting to drinks on the terrace. From a long leather-effect skirt to a khaki trench coat, here are 10 fashion essentials for creating office outfits that feel anything but uniform.
The Leather Effect
A black skirt, yes, but not just any black skirt. With its leather effect and maxi length, this Molli design adds a real fashion-forward edge to an office look. Tone it down with a super-soft sweater or a white shirt for a stylish contrast.
Leopard Calling
Leopard print is definitely not going anywhere. With this Laurence Bras skirt, the wild print makes its way into the office in a much chicer version than you might expect. Keep it understated with a plain sweater, ballet flats and a structured jacket: the perfect balance between working girl and fearless Parisian.
The Essential
The blazer gets an even more fashion-forward twist with this oversized Sandro wool jacket. Wear it with tailored trousers for a polished silhouette or with jeans to break up the corporate feel. A piece that proves an office outfit can also have that little extra touch of style.
The Romantic Touch
No need to wait for the weekend to wear florals. This Petite Mendigote cardigan embraces a romantic aesthetic with its fine ecru knit, floral print and scalloped edges. Thanks to its fitted cut, it can be worn buttoned up like a lightweight sweater or open over a camisole. Tuck it into high-waisted trousers or a skirt for a delicate office look that is anything but boring.
The Perfect Knit
Who decided an office sweater had to be boring? Certainly not Claudie Pierlot. With its colorful argyle pattern, this style instantly lifts classic trousers or a black skirt without going overboard. The ray of sunshine your corporate wardrobe needs.
The Timeless Classic
As temperatures start to drop, the trench coat naturally becomes our best ally. Sézane’s Arnaud trench, in a particularly versatile light khaki shade, works just as well with a printed dress as it does with a trousers-and-sweater combo. Throw it on before heading to work and keep it on all day: effortless Parisian chic, plain and simple.
The Budget Find
And because a fall wardrobe can’t be made up entirely of three-figure pieces, H&M also offers a more affordable option. The idea: pair it with more sophisticated pieces, such as an elegant skirt or beautiful shoes, to instantly create a more polished look. Proof that you don’t have to empty your bank account to look chic at the office.
The Effortless Dress
No need to spend an hour staring at your wardrobe every morning: this Rouje creation does most of the work for you. Its cherry print adds just the right amount of playfulness to an otherwise black silhouette, while its short cut gives it a feminine, laid-back feel. Wear it with a jacket and loafers for a day at the office, then keep the same accessories on and head straight out to dinner.
The Perfect Suit
A tailored suit is, of course, the girl boss’s BFF. This Tara Jarmon jacket instantly structures any silhouette and gives it a more sophisticated edge. Paired with the matching tailored trousers, the full look is guaranteed to make an impact.
The Burgundy Touch
Because sometimes a look comes down to just a few centimeters, we’re opting for these Odaje ballet flats. Their pleated leather and beautiful burgundy hue instantly liven up black trousers, a midi skirt or even straight-leg jeans. The perfect choice for anyone looking to ditch the usual black shoes in favor of a touch of color—without going overboard.
