Office Wear: Capsule Wardrobe Essentials

Has it been way too long since you’ve been back in the office? Have you been getting those passive comments about the need to have employees return? Have you looked in the closet and realized your pre-quarantine clothes are a little too snug to deal with for 8 hours a day? Whelp, lucky for you, I’m here to help you spend the least amount of time and money on a brand new work wardrobe.

I’ve been back at the office since July of 2020. While at first I had the luxury of wearing casual clothes, eventually I had to get back into the norm of spending 30 minutes trying to put together an outfit. Finally, I decided against all the frills by creating a capsule wardrobe with easy pieces I could throw together in less than 5 minutes. The key to doing this successfully is Neutrals with a few statement pieces mixed in. That way you can mix and match all the pieces without worrying about them looking good together. All the simple colors may look boring to most, but getting an outfit ready in the morning hasn’t been a challenge since.

Tops

Bottoms

Blazers

Shoes

I tend to lean towards darker colors because they make me feel more confident, but you can go with anything that works for you.

Hope this gives you a bit of motivation for the day you’re all dreading!
