Office Chic: 6 Ways to Improve Your Work Outfits

Hey, Avaraistas! If you find yourself running from dropping off the kids at school to juggling important work deadlines and everything else you’ve got going on, you might wonder if looking polished means having to sacrifice comfort or your unique style. We’ll take a look at the creative ways to upgrade your work attire without losing your personal touch. From incorporating colorful tops to rocking a vibrant midi dress, we’ve got all the tips and tricks to keep you stylish and comfortable at the office. Get ready to turn your work wardrobe from drab to fab with our six ways to improve your work outfits.

1. Go Bold with Color — When you think about work clothes, you probably think about neutrals and dark colors. Don’t be afraid to mix up your look and dare to wear colorful clothes to work because that pop of color can completely transform your mood. Just toss on one of our colorful tops, and your workday will feel as bright as your morning cup of coffee! Complete the look with neutral-toned trousers or dark-wash jeans to balance out the boldness of brighter tops.

2. Wear Comfortable Fabrics — If you’re looking for something comfortable yet trendy to wear to work, our cute midi dresses hug your curves in all the right places. That way, you’ll look professional during office hours yet feel comfy enough to pick up the kids after school.

3. Invest in Versatile Pieces — Every elevated wardrobe needs versatile pieces that are also timeless staples. Think midi dresses, form-fitting trousers, and chic blazers that can be mixed and matched with everything else in your closet time and time again. These staples save time while keeping your look professional whether you’re headed to a meeting or after-school pick-up.

4. Layer Up — Make your work outfits pop by layering them up with a blazer over a colorful top. Try pairing a cozy cardigan with a sweater dress. When it’s summer outside, and the AC is blasting at the office, layering up can help you stay cool while you’re at your desk, and you can just take off that extra cardigan or sweater when you’re outside in the heat. During the cool weather months, layering up is a must when you’re commuting in the dreary cold. Mix different textures to stay comfortable in between unpredictable office temperatures and busy days.

5. Accessorize It — Accessories can take your work outfits from basic to brilliant with just one statement necklace or pair of bold earrings. A stylish handbag or cute belt can pull your look together, proving that even the smallest details can make a big impact.

6. Mix and Match — Don’t be afraid to mix up textures, patterns, or colors with your work outfits. Try a patterned top with solid-colored pants or a bold-colored midi skirt with a neutral-toned top. That way, you can show off your unique style while remaining professional in the workplace.
