As the temperature begins to drop and leaves change colour, a wardrobe refresh for the fall is expected. The new season allows you to mix fashion trends with comfortable staples, keeping it stylish. Whether you want to style something cosy like a sweatshirt or something right out of summer like a sheer dress, fall lets you do it all. And when it comes to office attire, we are here to help you effortlessly incorporate these trends. We have put together 5 looks that you can wear to work this fall. So let’s get into it!
Denim on Denim
Denim is a classic that can be effortlessly integrated into your fall workwear wardrobe. It keeps you warm enough without making you feel hot. This season, the “denim on denim” trend is making a strong comeback. The key to mastering this trend is to pick denim pieces in different shades and textures to create a sophisticated and balanced look. Look for ripped, acid-washed, or dyed denims. For instance, pair a dark denim chambray shirt with tailored denim trousers in a lighter wash. Add a statement belt to break it up and finish the look with neutral-toned accessories, such as a leather tote bag and ankle boots. You can always add more depth to your look by throwing on a jacket on top. If you want to skip jeans, go for a midi denim skirt with buttons along the middle.
Sheer Elegance
A fabric that was until now reserved for only evening wear, has now found its way into office attire as well. Add a touch of elegance and femininity without looking extra – incorporate sheer elements into your work fits. Go for sheer blouses, dresses, or jackets. Here’s a look worth trying: A sheer blouse in a light colour layered over a camisole or a high-neck top. Pair it with a tailored pencil skirt or wide-leg trousers for a balanced look. You can wear pumps or kitten heels for footwear and accessorise with classic gold hoops. You can also pair a knitted mesh dress with a blazer, cinched at the waist, and kitten heels for footwear.
Sporty With Soft
Find the perfect balance between comfort and professionalism by combining sporty elements with a soft aesthetic. By sporty we mean athleisure-inspired pieces such as knit blazers, relaxed-fit trousers, quick-dry tops, and soft knits. Begin with a cosy oversized knit cardigan as your hero piece. Throw it over a crisp white shirt and tuck it into tailored joggers-style trousers. You can also go for cargo pants. Complete the look with chic sneakers or low-heeled loafers to stay on-trend as well as comfortable. You can also wear an oversized sweatshirt with a varsity jacket and ballet flats, which are hot right now!
Skirt Suit Sets
Skirt suit sets are making a strong resurgence this fall, offering a refreshing alternative to traditional pantsuits. Exude power and confidence at your workplace with this versatile trend. Go for a structured skirt suit in a bold colour or a classic plaid pattern. Keep the look polished with a tucked-in blouse and classic pumps. Tie the look together with a statement belt to cinch the waist and raise the style quotient. Complete the ensemble with minimalistic jewellery for a timeless look that is sure to turn heads. You can play with different styles of skirts and add knee-high boots with skirts that have a slit.
Bold Prints
There is no better season than fall to embrace bold prints and patterns in your workwear. Whether it’s vibrant florals, geometric designs, animal prints, or quirky graphics, incorporating eye-catching prints into your outfits can inject a dose of personality and energy into your office attire. Pick a well-tailored blouse or a dress with a visually striking print and pair it with plain colour trousers to balance the look. You can also wear Bermuda shorts or neutral colour shorts with a printed blouse. Conversely, if you choose a printed skirt, pair it with a solid blouse in a coordinating colour. Accessorise with understated jewellery and classic pumps to let the print take centre stage.
Incorporating these fall workwear trends into your daily office attire can elevate your style and make a lasting impression. Remember that the key to mastering these trends lies in balance and subtlety. Keep your overall look polished and professional while experimenting with these exciting fashion elements.
