There’s no easy answer to the lingering daily question: what to wear to the office? But there are several smart tricks to try when shopping for the best office clothes for women. 

If you’re planning to embark on a workwear-friendly wardrobe overhaul, shirting is a solid starting point. Look to soft materials to ease your way back into something resembling desk-side polish – we love styles from With Nothing Underneath and Simone Rocha – and for those of us who are ready to embrace some form of structure, then a trusty blazer looks both stylish and smart. Make The Frankie Shop your first port of call: the neutral shades are a Vogue editor favorite.

As for the Zoom-worthy trophy jewelry that saw us through lockdown? That can stay. After all, what better to way to make an entrance than with an eye-catching necklace? Here are Vogue’s favorite office clothes for women. 

Tailoring You Can Trust

Blazers can smarten up even the simplest of looks. Find a style that fits well on your shoulders, and ensure that the length of the hemline and sleeves are just so.

Wear-Anywhere Trousers

If you’re yet to find the perfect pair of trousers, let Vogue’s selection be your first port of call. Remember: You can always tailor a pair that aren’t spot on.

Preppy Loafers

No back-to-work outfit is complete without a shiny new pair of shoes. Loafers are the footwear shape of choice among the street-style set: the preppier, the better.

Crisp Shirting

White shirts will forever be a classic wardrobe staple, but why not try a trendy color like zingy green or chocolate brown? Your colleagues will be asking for your outfit details.

You’re wrong to think that dresses should be reserved for summer. With the right styling, certain dress styles can take you from day to night in an instant.
