You're Not Tired of Your Work Wardrobe; You Simply Need to Experiment with These 5 New Styling Techniques.
Whether you prefer working in an office setting or not, figuring out workwear has always been a challenging task for everyone. With the increasingly blurred lines of office dress codes, determining what to wear for work has become more difficult than ever.
Given the general chaos of life, reimagining your outfits and finding five entirely new work looks each week is simply unrealistic. Instead of completely overhauling your work wardrobe (let's be honest, who can afford that nowadays?), the next best thing to feeling refreshed for your 9-to-5 is to explore new styling combinations with the clothes you already have.
Contrary to popular belief, your work outfits can reflect your personality, and with the right accessories and intentional styling, these five looks demonstrate just that. Keep reading for five outfit ideas to wear to work this week using pieces from your closet.
Monday: A Button-Up + T-Shirt + Trousers

I consider myself a button-up enthusiast—primarily because they’re always fashionable and incredibly easy to wear. More importantly, regardless of how many days a week you choose to wear one, no one will bat an eye. If you're seeking a bit of variation, instead of buttoning it all the way up, try leaving it unbuttoned with a tee underneath. Paired with trousers, it creates a stylish foundation that you can accessorize for a work-ready outfit every time.
Tuesday: A Vest + Midi Skirt + Slingback Heels

Let’s be honest: finding a decent work top these days feels nearly impossible. And tops specifically for work? Even worse. Thankfully, tailored vests have recently emerged as a refreshing alternative to silky, polyester work tops. Instead of teaming your vest with matching trousers, consider pairing it with your favorite midi skirt and slingback heels. If sleeveless styles aren’t permitted at your workplace, just layer a cardigan or blazer on top.
Wednesday: A Button-Up + Trousers + Statement Shoes
Button-Up (Plus) | Trousers (Plus) | Flats | Belt (Plus) | Bag | Bangles | Earrings
I understand that sometimes we need to revert to the classics—think a button-up and trousers. Pair your shortest button-up with relaxed trousers for a quintessential midweek look. Add a standout shoe, like red ballet flats or a printed loafer, for a 9-to-5 outfit that conveys, “I’m capable and stylish at the same time.”
Thursday: A Blazer + Trousers + Slingback Heels
Blazer (Plus) | Trousers (Plus) | Hoops | Heels | Glasses | Tote
For a day filled with meetings (or a presentation that has you particularly anxious), depend on the combination of your favored blazer, trousers, and slingback heels. While you can utilize whatever you have in your wardrobe, the trend of cinched blazers this year provides a confidence-boosting effect that makes it a smart investment for workwear. Layer on your go-to accessories and then step out ready to take on whatever challenges the day presents.
Friday: A Cardigan + Trousers + Loafers
Cardigan (Plus) | T-Shirt (Plus) | Trousers (Plus) | Loafers | Belt (Plus) | Bag | Glasses
A cardigan is one of the most versatile items you can possess: it’s suitable for any season, works for various occasions, and matches well with nearly everything. On a Friday at the office, keep it relaxed and pair your coziest cardigan with comfortable trousers and walkable loafers. If possible, layer a slim-fit tee beneath your cardigan for an added touch of interest.
