After weeks of holiday festivities, cosy loungewear at home and laid-back schedules, returning to work can feel like a big adjustment. But it’s also the perfect opportunity to refresh your wardrobe and step into the new year with confidence.
Whether you’re heading back to a formal office or a more casual work environment, planning cute and comfortable outfits can make the transition easier and more exciting. A well-put-together look not only boosts your mood but also sets the tone for a productive year ahead.
You're in luck — we've curated five gorgeous back to work outfits you're simply going to love coming into the New Year. Featuring the latest City Chic styles, take a scroll and find your favourite look below:
Outfit 1: Pinstripe Suiting
Our Jaz Print Vest and Jazmin Straight Pant pair perfectly as a co-ord, styling beautifully as a set by themselves or layered with a collared work shirt. Finished with a pair of beige pumps, you're 100% ready to take that boardroom by storm. For a touch of extra chic, try dainty gold jewellery and a glossy lip.
Outfit 2: A Pop Of Colour
Some days, all you need is a pop of colour to boost your productivity. Our Jayda Top offers a bold paintbrush print that'll have you standing out from the rest of your colleagues. Its high neckline makes it suitable for the office, and when paired with a gorgeous flowy skirt, you have an outfit that beautifully balances feminine style with professionalism. Simply finish with ballet flats for all-day comfort.
Outfit 3: Monochrome Chic
Our third outfit is classic and timeless, offering a black and white palette that is simply chic in every way. A pair of black trousers is always perfect for the office, while the Cornelia Wave Top is a fun way to add some intrigue to your otherwise minimalist look. Finished with our Petunia Pumps, this look commands attention in all the right ways.
Outfit 4:
Everyone has a basic white tee in their wardrobe, and its one of those pieces you'll get endless wear out of, whether styling for work or play. Here, we show you how adding a sleek black skirt and coloured blazer can upstyle your tee in an instant, making it perfect for an office environment. Finish with your choice of work shoes and a slick back ponytail.
Outfit 5: Upstyled Denim
If your workplace allows jeans, there are plenty of fabulous ways to style them professionally. For our fifth look, we've styled trendy wide leg jeans with a crisp white shrit and structural blazer for a clean finish. Keep it dressed down in white sneakers or elevate the look with pumps if you're after a more polished vibe.
