Although I don’t work in a traditional office, my job still requires a business-appropriate look on occasion, especially for important meetings. 

Whether your office uniform is traditionally corporate or skews creative like mine, nothing screams sophistication quite like chic office wear classics. From separates to suiting sets, here’s my round-up of the best in workwear this season:

Print Dress and Black Bazer

BLAZERS + JACKETS

While a classic blazer is the ultimate office wear staple, a sleeveless jacket or tweed topper are quickly becoming my favorite alternatives.

Houndstooth peplum, burgdundy faux fur scarf and pencil skirt worn by Tanesha Awasthi of Girl With Curves.

BLOUSES

Upgrade your traditional button down for a statement print or feminine details, like a neck tie or collar in a contrasting color.

Printed Sheath Dress, nude pumps and oversize tote by Tanesha Awasthi of Girl with Curves.

DRESSES + SUITING

You can never go wrong with a tailored suit, but a dress in a conservative sheath, pencil or A-line silhouette can have just as much professional impact.

PANTS

This season, try trousers in a bold color like olive, red or navy in a classic straight-cut silhouette, or opt for an ankle crop wide leg for a modern update.

SKIRTS

The classic pencil is an office-friendly fave all year, but don’t shy away from a great A-line midi or pleated alternative for Fall.
