Does the phrase “work outfit” make you cringe? Us too. Luckily, elevated streetwear has become the norm in most offices, making it easier than ever to find comfortable work clothing that can also be worn outside the cubicle. A few solid investment pieces are all you need for a polished wardrobe that goes from workday to weekend with just a few key accessories. To prove it, we pulled together five stylish work outfit ideas that will put in the overtime hours. 

1. From Boardroom to Beach

You don’t need to sacrifice comfort to maintain a tailored look at work. Throw on a loose, stripey midi dress with a pair of mules and your favorite gold bangle for a casual but still business-appropriate look. Transition to the beach with a geometric bikini and a natural mineral sunscreen.

2. From Presentation to Parisian Picnic

A floaty floral dress can work wonders for your confidence, regardless of where you are. Feel like a million bucks at your next presentation by adding a pair of low heels and a handcrafted belt to create a stylish work outfit. A romantic picnic a deux calls for an equally dreamy look: Complete your outfit with a bold red lip and a sweet basket-style purse.

3. From Meeting to Museum Hopping

It doesn’t take much for this structured jumpsuit to go from workwear to streetwear. Keep things professional with a sophisticated color like cream or mossy green and an oversize carry-all for your computer. Come weekend, a pair of hammered gold hoops and your favorite kicks will have you looking fly at the latest exhibition opening.
