Back in the Office: What to Wear After a Year of Remote Working

After working from home for the best part of the year, most of us are at a loss of what to wear when it comes to returning to the office. Whether your office is gearing up to welcome employees back to a COVID19-safe environment or you’re starting a new job that requires you to be on-site, switching up to dressing sharp and looking your best can be tricky after months of remote working in your comfiest clothes. But feeling and looking your best at work is important; not only for the impression that you make on your boss and others, but also your confidence and even your performance can be affected.

Here are some top tips to help you put together work outfits that wow.

Choose the Right Shoes

Since your shoes are on your feet for eight hours of the day and even more, it’s important to choose a pair that not only look good but are also comfortable and supportive to wear. During the colder months, designer boots can be a fantastic choice for the workplace since they are stylish and classy, but also really comfortable to wear and will keep your feet warm during your commute. Check out the Maison Margiela boots stocked at SSENSE for some stunning ideas.

Add Some Color

If you are tired of wearing the same boring work outfits day in and day out, there’s nothing wrong with adding a pop of color to give some interest to your outfit and make you stand out from the crowd a little bit more. A floral blouse can breathe some life into an otherwise dull work outfit or you could really go for it with a brightly colored or pastel blazer that’s sure to catch attention for all the right reasons.

Accessorize Tastefully

When it comes to accessorizing your work outfits, minimal is best. Accessories should enhance your outfit rather than get in the way of your ability to do your job. Sometimes all it takes is a simple necklace or a pair of subtle stud or hoop earrings to really bring your outfit together and add the finishing touches. Experiment with the accessories that you have and don’t be afraid to break the rules a little bit by mixing gold with silver as when done well this can have a very classy and elegant effect.

Prioritize Comfort

Finally, if you are returning to the office after working from home, the last thing that you want to deal with is being uncomfortable in your clothing. It might feel strange to be back wearing work suits or formal clothing if you’ve been able to work in your joggers for a year, but the more comfortable you are, the easier it will be to get back into the swing of things. Choose clothes that fit you well and leave a little bit of wiggle room to avoid pinching and chafing.

After getting used to remote working, you’re not alone if you’re wondering what to wear on your return to the office. Keep these tips in mind to put together outfits that you’ll love. Here is an interesting article about chinos vs dress pants, read on and you’ll never be a fashion victim anymore.
