Depending on your view and capabilities of working from home, you might have been chuffed or devastated to see the recent Fashion Week runways’ stream of back-to-work styles.
Let’s face it, no one can live in a sweatsuit forever. And since most of us have returned to some form of in-person daily life, we might as well look sharp and feel good while doing it.
So welcome back, office dressing—and not the casual kind so many of us adopted over the past decade, but real boardroom-style attire. Pencil skirts, full matching suits, even sweater-vests.
The perfect accessory? Minimalist jewelry: huggie earrings, thin bands, subtle (but sparkling) chains. These styles keep everything chic and sophisticated, with buildable possibilities that let the wearer take things from minimal to maximum in no time.
