by Aaron Kok  /   March 22, 2018

In the growing heap of clothes and trends that the fashion industry pumps out each season, it can seem confusing sometimes to find simple pieces that you can wear to the office. Workwear doesn’t have to be boring, and you can dress simply and easily without looking sloppy. All you need to do is master these simple steps to simplify your wardrobe, and you will have plenty of room to get creative and build your office looks from there.

Super Easy Ways To Simplify Your Work Wardrobe, Starting From $44
1. Breeze through your day in a maxi dress
image

Image this: It’s Monday morning, and you’re still sleepy and feeling a little sluggish. You walk to your closet and stare at it to try to figure out what to wear. Well, you don’t have to think too much when you’ve got a dress on.

Just like this piece from Giordano Ladies, the key to working a longer dress for work is to look for business-approved fabrics or simple cuts. This means that anything that’s too bohemian looking should be left for beach days. Pay attention to fit and quality as well, as they help to elevate your look. Throw it on, and go off about your day!

Graphic stripes are ideal for most body types. Find a piece with different striped angles to help break up the pattern.

Dress, $119, from Zara
image

With a draped centre and an eye-catching print, this dress strikes the perfect balance between being fun and being office-approved.

Dress, $89.90, from Zara

You can’t falter with a simple striped dress. With its minimalist lines and subtle gold hardware, you’ll get plenty of wear from this look.

2. Trade out your stiff blazer for softer tailoring
image

Relaxed tailoring is a huge trend for the season, and we are loving it. Not only does it feel more comfortable, it’s also a great option to have for those last-minute meetings. This heather-grey design from Giordano accentuates your waist, and gives you longer-looking legs, thanks to its higher waist line.

Stripes are often associated with being business-y, but when it’s done with a linen blazer, it suddenly feels more elegant and less stiff.

A nude blazer is as classic as it gets. Pair it with jeans for a simple Casual Friday outfit, or play it up with a grey checkered skirt.

Jacket, $74.95, from H&M

While it looks like a regular business blazer on the surface, the longer cut, boxier shape and softer fabric gives this blazer a more lived-in feel.

3. Experiment with dusty pink
image

Hear us out: Giordano Ladies’ dusty pink dress might be the one dress that you can wear to the office or on the weekend.

With its looser shape and its breezy fabric, this design is a no-brainer for the weekend. But to work it for the office, throw on a fitted blazer or even a sleeveless jacket to instantly elevate it.

Plus, the dusty pink colour flatters most skin tones.

Top, $150; and Skirt, $165, from Giordano Ladies

Get a curvier silhouette with a cinched waist. This top is versatile enough that you can wear it a number of ways, including with a midi skirt or a smart pair of trousers.

Pants, $136, from Topshop
image

We can’t get enough of the wide-legged trouser, so naturally we are infatuated with this pair. It’s super comfortable, thanks to its un-clingy cut, and the colour is subtle enough that it won’t fight with the rest of your outfit.

Skirt, $44.95, from H&M
image

Everyone needs a pleated midi skirt in their wardrobe, and if you don’t, here’s your chance. Use it to dress up a simple tee or a white shirt.

4. Playful ruffles add a sense of lightness
image

Take a cue from this Giordano Ladies’ look and work frothy ruffles into your look. It’s fun, effervescent and still has a sense of dressiness that you can pull off for work.

To avoid looking like you’re drowning in fabric, cinch your waist in with a belt and voila! You’re all set for the office.

Top, $155; and Skirt, $160, both from Giordano Ladies

Dress, $159, from Topshop
image

Headed out after work for a well-deserved sip? This sparkly dress is the perfect dress to work a room. To keep it office appropriate (because not all of us has time to run home for a quick change), pair it with simple shoes and a tailored blazer.

Top, $49.90, from Zara
image

We love a top that you can wear to the office and on the weekend, and this piece ticks all those boxes. With its ruffled neckline, you don’t have to do too much to make it pop. Stay away from oversized accessories and keep to a simple hairstyle.

Top, $59.90, from Zara
image

A white blouse will take you everywhere, and work with everything. Dress this top up with a printed skirt and a pair of brightly coloured shoes.

5. Workwear denim is your new best friend
image

What if we told you that you could wear jeans for work every day of the week? Well, it’s possible, if you know how to style it right. Just like how Giordano Ladies does it, the trick is in the fit. Simple cuts and classic washes are the best way to anchor your look, without HR raising an eyebrow.

Top, $140; and Pants, $170, both from Giordano Ladies

Jacket, $126, from Topshop
image

An oversized jacket is our favourite jacket buddy, because it hides away all our post-food paunch! Get the hourglass shape you want with the help of its attached sash.

Jacket, $79, from Mango
image

Straight-leg jeans that look like trousers are fantastic alternatives to the normal denim jeans. Pair these with business-like pumps and a smart shirt.

Top, $59.90, from Mango

Alternatively, try on a loose denim blouse for work. If you’re afraid of looking sloppy, dress it up with tailored pants and office-approved accessories.
