Summer is almost over, and hopefully we have recharged our batteries and are now ready to go back to the office in the right spirit. September is, in some ways, the beginning of the year for many, after the holidays are over and new projects begin.
Thus, this is the perfect time of the year to buy those statement pieces we saw on the runways that will give our fall/winter looks a boost to face the beginning of the colder season.
Naturally, you may want the best back to the office outfit. Need a trick to ease into this new season? Mix and match your summer pieces with fall ones in creative ways! Take a look at our pointers for a stylish start to the season.
How to dress to go back to the office
Aside from re-introducing this season’s typical items, such as denim, trench coats and light pullovers, it’s the perfect time to use our summer wardrobe in a new and unexpected way. For example, you can keep using your dresses with a t-shirt underneath, wear tops with a blazer matching, or match miniskirts with boots. This is the season where you can get creative and mix and match your summer wardrobe with your fall/winter one: play with proportions and layers to make your looks more interesting and never boring.
Colours for going back to the office this 2022
We know that summer is all about bold colours: the sun shines, the skin is tanned, and we like to dress a little more colourful. As September still has some summer in it, there is no need to say goodbye to colours just yet. Instead, you may slowly switch to neutral colours and earth tones –like brown, tangerine, mustard or burgundy– but keeping colourful little accessories. This pop of colour not only reminds us of warmer days, but it also creates a contrast that makes our look more interesting and trendy. This combination also makes for the best office outfits!
Look ideas for going back to the office this 2022
Look 1: summer slip dress and t-shirt
Don’t put your summer dresses away for the moment; instead, use them in different ways to match the coming season. Take a t-shirt (long or short-sleeved, up to you) and wear it under your favourite dress. This style is perfect with strap and slip dresses in particular, and it’s ideal to come back to the office. As for the shoewear, go with loafers or sneakers according to your style and that’s it! Things to keep in mind: for the best results, the dress shouldn’t be too tight, and the combo works better with a round-necked T-shirt.
Look 2: an unexpected midi skirt and sweatshirt match
If you want your look to be a contrast of styles, then this combo is the right one for you: pair a midi skirt –it can be silk or pleated– with a sweatshirt for a casual and sporty touch. The best part of this back to the office outfit is that the accessories you choose here will make all the difference. If you want a feminine look, add sandals or sling backs; if you want to be comfortable and sporty, opt for sneakers. Whatever you choose, you will look trendy and comfy all day long.
Look 3: total denim for your office comeback
The total denim look never goes out of style: it’s comfortable, it’s trendy, and it’s versatile. The only rule to keep in mind is that the shirt and the jeans must be the same shade of blue. Apart from that, you can have fun choosing the right fit for your silhouette and adding colourful accessories. We love combining denim and red ankle strap flats for a French and chic touch! If you go for it, don’t forget to add some white in your accessories.
Look 4: add a tartan blazer to your look schedule
No list of office looks can ever be complete without a tartan blazer; it’s a staple piece for autumn that will last forever in your wardrobe. Get ready to wear it with your favourite denim, mini skirts or to mix and match it with floral prints. Our suggestion to rock this blazer is to wear it with a black laced shirt, a skirt in a bold colour and black ankle boots. Round off your look with a clutch bag, and you’re ready to go.
Look 5: trench and maxi dress for long office days
We are not ready to say goodbye to our maxi floral dress that we wore so much during summer. Good news is, you can still wear them! Match them with a mid-season staple: the trench coat. An item that you must already have in your wardrobe, because it’s always trendy. Round off the look with a pair of cowboy or rocker boots, and you’ll be ready to face every occasion.
