Back to Work: An Expert’s Tips for Fall Office Dressing

This fall, it’s all about the denim skirt. This simple staple plays well with classic fall pieces like tall leather boots and a structured bag.

Even if you’re inclined to stick with the classics, try mixing things up with an unexpected take, like a tank with an unusual shape.

You may be used to wearing your favorite pair of jeans to work, but take things up a notch by styling them with a coordinated (or contrasting) denim trench. Try tailored silhouettes to keep the look streamlined.

Take a chance to play with opposing ideas—that could mean contrasting colors, tight and loose silhouettes, or slick and textured materials. When juxtaposed, pieces feel fresh.

Don’t be afraid to lean into bold prints. A coordinated skirt and top set in a graphic design will instantly stand out.

While the weather is still warm, try breaking out a pair of long shorts that can be styled with your classic work pieces.

Rich earth tones are staples for fall, but break them up with a jolt of bold color via a skirt or dress.
