As an Associate Shopping Director, here are 9 trends I'm embracing for the office this winter.

      If you keep an eye on Who What Wear's Instagram Stories, you might have seen that I often showcase my favorite office outfits and provide shopping links to inspire your workwear choices. After all, a stylish outfit deserves recognition! With January's return to the office, it can be tough to feel motivated, but a fashionable outfit can be just the push you need. Today, I want to share specific styles I intend to incorporate into my office wardrobe this winter. Among the featured items are trendy basics you might already have, as well as accessory trends like long pendant necklaces and faux-fur scarves, which will bring a chic, contemporary flair to your work attire. If you're in need of some outfit inspiration for the office this month, check out the pieces below.

      **Elevated Cardigans**

      The spring/summer 2026 runways have indicated that literary-chic styles will be a significant trend this year, built around practical staples including cardigans. The beauty of a knit cardigan is its adaptability—you can layer it over a lightweight turtleneck during the chilly winter months and transition it to a cute top in spring. The styling options are limitless, and its versatility is unmatched.

      **Faux-Fur Scarves**

      Faux-fur coats, accessories, and embellishments are trending right now, and I plan to embrace this trend at work with a stylish scarf. It's ideal for layering over a wool coat or wearing with a sweater in the office. It offers cozy support throughout January!

      **Leather & Suede Knee-High Boots**

      **Dark-Wash Straight-Leg Jeans**

      - ZARA Oversized Double-Breasted Blazer

      - MANGO Selection Pleat Front Straight Leg Pants

      - Gap 365 Low Rise Brushed Twill Pleated Trousers

      **Long Pendant Necklaces**

      I enjoy enhancing my work basics with trendy accessories. Currently, I'm into long pendant necklaces, which are expected to remain popular in 2026. For the office, opt for sleek pieces featuring black, silver, or gold that complement a sweater and blazer.

      For a sophisticated winter office look, try pairing a collarless blazer with your jeans. This combination is smart and polished and can easily be layered over a fitted turtleneck for added warmth and style.

      - ALL THE WAYS Jane Collarless Blazer

      - ASTR the Label Bellmere Jacket

      - Argent Double-Breasted Crewneck Blazer in Herringbone

      Even though skirts may not be your go-to this winter, don’t overlook them for work. A knit midi or maxi skirt can often be much more comfortable than stiff jeans all day and pairs beautifully with knee-high boots. Stick to elegant neutral shades.
