My Favorite Easy Office Look

Several times per year, I travel to Salt Lake for work. I go into my home office, and need to dress according to the firm dress code. It’s strange to go from bedroom slippers to real shoes, but it’s nice too. While I love a great dress, I get more mileage out separates these days. So here is one of my favorite office looks.

The Blazer // A belted blazer is a great piece. It looks so pulled together, no matter which pieces you choose to wear it with. This one from Twinset is a great price point for the quality. If you need more structure, I recommend this wide, white belt to give it some life. Need a less expensive option? The Drop has you covered.

Looking for a non-white color? This Aritzia blazer comes in several colors and is deeply discounted. Plus-size? Try this belted blazer from Land’s End.

The Blouse // A sleeveless shell with wide “straps” and a v-neck or scoop neck is a wardrobe work horse for any professional women. The shirts layer well under suits, blazers, and cardigans. They also look great on their own for a cocktail hour post-meeting or post-conference.

This one from Quince is a great option. It’s affordable, comes in lots of colors, and the quality is pretty good. They also make a crewneck version.

The Pants // I love the look of a white blouse/white blazer combo with trousers or a pencil skirt. Back is the easiest, but I liked the look of this deep olive Mango pant. It’s less stark and this color is a great black alternative in spring in fall (it lightens up black and looks great with earth tones).

Need a black pant? My favorite comfortable office pants are these ones from Spanx.

The Shoes // Leopard shoes are the unsung heroes of the professional wardrobe. Sure, they’re a tiny bit loud, but that’s what great about them. They take a quiet outfit and add some zazz. I love these flats from Boden, because the lightness of the slingback keeps them summer ready. For something under-$50, try Steve Madden.

The Accessories // If I have a blazer with a v-neck shell under it, I want a necklace that continues that neckline. This one from Mejuri is one of the best in this price point. And if you grab the silver-and-gold one in the same style, it can anchor a mixed metals look.

This is one of the easiest looks for the office. It’s also ageless and classic. Plus, if you need just a bit more office flair than yesterday, you can swap the pants for denim or these olive cargos. It’s a very versatile choice.
