Adulting 101: Office fashion edition

By Sofia Santeliceson August 2, 2019

In a fast-paced and busy world, dressing up for work would be the least of your worries.

Nothing too flashy, corporate, and plain. Those are your typical mantras in procuring your everyday office wear. Office spaces can be tough when it comes to dress codes, and it can be a norm that is too intimidating to break. Playing safe is always the best bet.

But if there’s one thing you have control over, it’s how you look, and how you dress. And trust us, that alone can make you feel the most powerful, and there are certainly more ways than one in working your way around the rules. The world is filled with too much color, too many amazing pairs of heels, and definitely more than enough options for you to choose from.

So take a deep breath, and get your creative mind rolling. We’ve got the best corporate junkie outfits for you.

Araw Jumpsuit

If we’re talking about the office, jumpsuits are always a go. They’re classy, and gives a flair to your whole look. This Dahon Ace Halter Jumpsuit from Araw is a classic. Its shade is a pop of color from your usual monochromes, but still remains unassuming. Perfect for any workspace, especially with the perfect blazer. Available at Tropa Store.

Love Ara Blazer

Blazers are a staple but that doesn’t mean they have to be monotonous. This Willow design from Love Ara is a testament to that. It will definitely pair well with any outfit, especially with your plain pieces. Available on Instagram.

Atelier by Patty Ang Pants

Hearing the word “slacks” makes millennials and gen-Z kids run for the hills. It’s probably because it reminds us so much of our mom’s everyday office manifesto and oath to the labor force. But these The Bobin slacks from Atelier by Patty Ang will definitely make you rethink you slacks opinion. It features a flattering high-rise waist and an elongating wide-leg cut. You won’t want to take them off. Ever. Available on Instagram.

Undo Clothing Kimonos

This Sinclair Kimono throw over in oatmeal is a gift from heaven. It’s the perfect piece to top your jumpsuits, colorful tops, and would look especially good with your high-waist, flair slacks. They would do the job of keeping you warm in an air-conditioned meeting, but would also be light and breezy for the outdoors. Available on Instagram.

Deliver Deliver Daily Suit

If there’s anything you can get away with when it comes to using colors in the office, it’s with your shoes. But these just spice up your whole look. Casual but cute Jomie heels in yellow are the perfect final touches to your whole style, and can work with any outfit. Available on Instagram.

Sunnies Specs

The cherry on the top would probably be these sleek specs! Wether perched on your nose or on your head, they are perfect for everyday office wear, especially The Arturo in Ale being the pop of color to your whole look. Available at Sunnies Specs.
