The alarm goes off at 7:00 AM. You remember that the week starts again and that you have a long workday ahead. But, before preparing breakfast and getting going, you ask yourself the daily question: What should I wear today? Then you immediately open the wardrobe and start looking at your clothes that, after seeing them so often, you don’t know how to make them work without feeling repetitive. The first solution is easy: seek inspiration and opt for basics that always work so there are no mistakes.
The other option is to pick up some of the latest releases from fashion brands and give them your own style. To do that, pair those classic designs with a trendier, more eye-catching piece. To help you this week, we’ve made it easy for you and give you five outfit ideas from Monday to Friday to wear to the office next week.
A Comfortable Option
White T-shirt from Intimissimi (€19.90) / Balloon white pants from Mango (€39.99) / Rania earrings, Moliane (€65) / Numéro Neuf East bag, Polene (€440) / Boston Rivets clogs, Birkenstock (€190).
Monochrome looks in a single color always work, but the keys to giving it a different and more personal style are to opt for accessories or garments that break the monotony. This example is perfect: pair jeans with a white T-shirt, a patterned jacket, large earrings, and clogs with a touch of detail, such as these studs.
A Touch of Animal Print
Boxy long-sleeve T-shirt from Pull & Bear (€12.99) / Barrel pants from Marc O’ Polo (€169.95) / Double necklace from Pandora (€119) / Hilma bag, Alohas (€295) / Bridge Cow Print Brown sneakers, Hoff (€150).
There’s no denying that animal print is everywhere; to wear it without it taking too much protagonism, including it in an accessory is always a smart move. A good example is wearing it on your shoes with a coordinated look, such as a white T-shirt and beige trousers.
A Working Girl Look
White shirt from Stradivarius (€22.99) / Striped silk tie from Maje (€95) / Mini shorts from Zara (€19.95) / Large shopper bag, Desigual (€79.95) / Kitten-height boots from Gioseppo, sold at El Corte Inglés (€89.95).
To give the white shirt a twist in an unexpected way, try pairing it with mini shorts, a tie, and knee-high boots. A fun way to soften the formality of this wardrobe staple that always works and never goes out of style.
Back to the Trench
Trench coat, Massimo Dutti (€169) / Azura Brown top, Laagam (€79.95) / Bellflower wide-leg jeans, Guess (€140) / Isabela bag, La Portegna (€570) / Braided leather ballet flats, Parfois (€39.99).
If there is a basic mid-season outerwear piece you should count on, it’s a trench coat. One way to wear it is with denim, a personality top like this checkered cut-out design, and a flat shoe for comfortable commuting. To lift this look, add a bag with a pop of color.
A Basic Combination
Leather jacket, Scalpers (€329) / 100% cashmere sweater, Uniqlo (€159) / Daisy loose jeans, Tommy Hilfiger (€129.90) / Tote Basile bag, Sézane (€160) / Riva Velour Wool Taupe clogs, Genuins (€79.90).
Jeans have thousands of options, which is why they always hold an irreplaceable place in the wardrobe every season. In autumn, opt to wear them with a quality cashmere knit, like this one, and give your look a twist through the jacket and furry-lined clogs.
