After months of working from home, we’re probably used to rolling out of bed and getting dressed to look presentable for the first-morning Zoom meetings. But as we start heading back to the office as safety distancing measures are eased, you might still be tempted to get a few extra minutes of sleep every morning. As such, having a closet full of the right work apparel will help reduce the time needed to get ready. So go ahead, keep scrolling to stock up on professional-looking attire that will cut your morning routine in half.
Dresses aren’t the only easy-to-wear work option; a maxi jumpsuit makes you look just as confident and competent as any other work dress does. Add a waist belt for contrast and you’ll not only look professional but fashionable as well.
Flare dresses are truly lifesavers when you’re scrambling for time. They’re so, so easy to wear and also look fabulous — especially when it’s covered in such a gorgeous, graphic print.
Another flare dress that’s perfect for the office, this one is great for work functions and client meetings that you have lined up for the day. Since its silhouette is so relaxed you’re going to feel completely comfortable even if your workday is exceptionally long.
Professional doesn’t have to mean boring. Ditch typical work dresses for something more unconventional, like a vest dress in a luxurious shade of green. All you have to do is wrap it around your frame and you’re good to go!
Have fun dressing up even on casual Fridays! A polka dot shirt dress is a lovely throw-on-and-go option that allows you to swap painful heels for a comfy pair of sneakers.
Always have an LBD on standby. This way, you won’t have to panic even if you hop out of bed half an hour late. Just throw on your little black dress and slip on a pair of pumps and you’ll be ready to rush out the door.
Scrambling for time but in the mood for separates? Wear a two-piece set, like this blazer and matching pair of pants, which will only require about thirty seconds to decide on and get into since there’s no time wasted on mixing and matching.
