What to Wear If You are an Office Lady? Check Some OL Styles Today

As many of us work in the office and need to wear a suitable work uniform every day, today we are going to talk about various OL styles. Depending on the company you work for, there may be a certain dress code in place - some workplaces are more strict than the others, some allow you to wear jeans or other casual outfits on Fridays, etc. There are however some basic rules that are suitable for all office ladies out there and that’s what we are going to talk about today.

• Make sure your outfit is elegant and simple.

• Avoid any over-the-top embellishments.

• Stick to the classic color palette: black, white, grey, dark blue, and a subtle palette of neutrals: beige, sand, nude, camel, pastel pink, light peach (great in summer!)

• Brighten up your outfit with an occasional splash of color but don’t overdo it

• Keep your jewelry chic and simple. Opt for an elegant watch and a delicate necklace.

• Pay attention to your hair and makeup.

1. Capri Pants + Blouse + Cardigan

Classic capri pants in elegant grey combined with black pumps, a white blouse, and a cozy cardigan is a very comfortable and chic office option. A great thing about this outfit is the fact that you can adjust it to your needs depending on the weather or the temperature inside your office. You will never feel too cold or too hot!

2. Summer Suit

An office suite doesn’t need to be boring. This summer opt for fashionable pink or peach color and depending on your mood (or a day of the week) wear it with classic pumps and an elegant blouse or with a simple T-shirt and comfortable tennis shoes like in the picture above. Add a trendy office handbag to the mix and you are ready for another day of work in no time! 

A two-piece office outfit gives you a variety of options. You can wear your pants with a blouse and a cardigan or combine your pink jacket with a pencil skirt or elegant maxi dress in black or white. The options are endless so take advantage of the office suite and come up with your own unique combinations this summer.

If you prefer a more traditional color and cut, you can always spice up your look with some interesting hair accessories or a colorful handbag. Have a look at the picture above for some style inspiration!

Useful Tip: If you are going out for a lunch break, always carry a trendy pair of oversized sunglasses with you.

3. Classic Pants and White Shirt

This classic office outfit doesn’t need a special recommendation. Suitable for slim, tall ladies, it will look great with feminine black pumps which will add some extra centimeters to your legs. Wear it on all those days when you feel less creative with your office outfits or when you need an extra confidence boost for an important meeting or work presentation. Keep your hair loose as in the picture above or tie it up in a chic bun for an even more professional look and comfort throughout the day.

4. Elegant Maxi Dress

Maxi dresses are perfect if you want to achieve elegant yet relaxed ‘summer in the office look’. You can opt for short or long sleeves. Both styles are equally stylish and will look good in the office. Wear your dress with a simple black belt and make sure the print is very subtle and the color palette is toned. After work, you can spice up your look with a neon clutch and fun, colorful sunglasses. 

5. Pencil Skirt

You can never go wrong with a classic pencil skirt. Wear yours with a simple top or an elegant blouse in a pastel color. Add a stylish handbag to the mix and you will be ready for all work challenges that the day may bring. Which is your favorite OL style for summer 2021? Have you decided yet?
