Non-boring Office Looks That Are Still Square Mile/Wall Street Appropriate

Non-boring Office Looks That Are Still Square Mile/Wall Street Appropriate

Going into the office is boring enough, but that doesn’t mean you have to be! It is important to reframe our thinking when we are getting dressed for work. Instead of thinking about how you are hunched over your desk, think about how every moment is a chance to discuss your outfit.

 

A great look changes your whole mood, you walk taller, speak more loudly and your brain is more clear. So how do we get to this magical land of office appropriate looks that still have shine and pizzazz?

 

We take classic pieces or pairings and turn them on their head.

 

 

 

 

A slim cut, slightly oversized collared shirt is a great base. The extra wide cuff can be unfolded for dramatic length. Add this over a simply cut silk mini and you have movement that will make typing away look ever so graceful. For even more drama, a stacked necklace pairing in contrasting silver and black add edge to a softer look. These also balance out the darker snakeskin block sandal. If this is too much leg, add an opaque black tight and matching boot.

 

 

 

 

Do not let the color of these wonderful trousers scare you.  The easy wide-leg cut and mid-rise waist create a more conservative base than why you originally might have thought. These trousers are absolute perfection outside of the office too, with a little ribbed tank and sandals, they just ooze effortless for all occasions.  The reason why these work for work, is they become more muted with a simple black loafer. A cropped suede jacket gives you shape, while a striped black and white tshirt keeps the look from being boring.

 

If the striped tee is too casual, swap it for a button down and add a heel to level up even more.

 

 

 

 

A sharply tailored duster in a rich chocolate velvet will catch the office light in the right way. It’s serious but the length adds flair in an unexpected way. It is a perfect topper to a medium weight knit dress that hits at just the same length. This tiny attention to detail goes a long way in making the look feel neat and considered. The other pièce de résistance is a smart kitten heel. The nude leather mixed with the metal cap toe is the perfect period to the end of your stylish office statement!
