10 Work Outfits That’ll Make You The Envy Of The Office
The office isn’t the run way, we all know that, but that doesn’t stop us wanting to look our best. Women’s fashion is flexible so we can wear a lot of different things but still look smart and gorgeous. We don’t have to compromise. So here are 10 outfits that will make everyone jealous that they didn’t think to wear something as great as you did.
1. Plaid Blazer
Blazers are the standard attire in a smart outfit. A suit requires a blazer. But it doesn’t have to be a block colour, it doesn’t have to be black to be smart, I present you the plaid blazer.
You still have that classic smart silhouette to you, you are still wearing a blazer. Automatic work outfit. But you are now stylish and the envy of the office as you stand out from the rest. You have a gorgeous plaid pattern that gives the outfit a whole new look.

2. Stripes
Stripes are always seen as temperamental, but when you find stripes that work for your body shape you aren’t going to regret finding them. A shirt like this is striking, you can’t deny it. And no one else in the office will either.
Get creative with your shirts and go bold, move past the plain old white shirt or a cute little blue one and go monochrome. Get your stripe on.

3. Khaki Dress
If you have a bit more freedom in your dress code at the office and can move past the blazer and shirt look then why not try a dress like this. You look smart and professional, while you also look stylish for the autumn sun.
The belt really brings the outfit together, and the length means that you are appropriate for the office, what’s not to love about this outfit!

4. 50s Dress
Staying with dresses, why not try a 50s style dress. We can move past those pencil skirts and dresses and bring freedom to the legs. Bring volume to the dress. You can be stylish and vintage while still looking smart.
This particular dress below is a great option as the outline is smart, and the squared pattern gives it something different. Something that will make everyone else envious of your style.
Also these dresses can still be worn with blazers or jackets to protect against the chillier breeze setting in outside.

5. Body-con
If volume in your dress isn’t your thing then go tight. These body-con dresses are a 2-in-1, you look like you are wearing a shirt and skirt but are really wearing a dress. I know you’ll be thinking whats the point, you may as well just wear an actual shirt and skirt but this dress doesn’t require you to tuck the shirt back in every 2 minutes after any slight movement.
You can sit at your desk and not worry about the excess of shirt that’ll be around your lower back after slouching.
You can raise your arms to get something off the shelf without having to readjust afterwards.
It’s a small inconvenience but one that I feel would be appreciated on those busy days.

6. Trousers
Wearing trousers to work makes life a lot easier, you don’t need to worry over perfectly shaved legs or the cold breeze, you can just slip straight into them and walk out.
Lose fitting trousers have found a calling this year, I’m not complaining because it gives your hips and butt a bit more wiggle room. Tight fitting tops go well with trousers like these, even try a turtle neck when the colder days set in. Or you can stay smart like the woman below in a shirt.
Best part about trousers like these is you can make a statement with your shoes, you just find a pair that go well with the outfit.

7. Princess’s Jumper
Talking of turtle necks, Princess Meghan is wearing a lovely loose fitting turtle neck here that I feel would be a great fit in an office. You can be cosy and warm while still looking smart. And you can even layer this under a blazer as well when the weather takes a turn towards the winter chill.

8. Floral Skirts
Floral patterns are always popular, but the office isn’t exactly the place for some bright display of daffodils all over you, so a skirt like this is a great alternative. The simplicity in the design means you stay looking smart, but the cute pattern will make you the envy of the office.
Pair it with other nude tones like below and you have a lovely outfit to wear. Or even a black shirt and heels to create a bolder look.

9. Over-sized Bow
Ties are great, but Doctor Who made bow ties cool again. So what do we do with cool things, we make them bigger. And these over-sized bows on these shirts are a great feminine way of styling a bow tie.
This look requires less in the need of accessories as the bow is your necklace, just pair it with a cute pair of earrings, perhaps a watch, and a black skirt like below and you will look stunning.

10. Stilettos
So I’ve been saying through each outfit that you need to bring the outfit together with the right pair of shoes. Trainers are obviously comfortable but they aren’t going to make you the envy of the office. You need the wow factor.
These tartan heels will definitely give you the wow factor as you walk the office halls and give you the confidence to rock that meeting.
