5 Chic Workwear Pieces You Need for Fall

It’s hard to believe that it is already October and that it’s starting to look like fall just about everywhere except for LA. Regardless, I am so excited for a new season of layering, boots, and turtleneck sweaters. If you spend most of your days in a normal 9-5 job, I know how hard it can be to wear the latest trends without feeling like you’re violating the dress code. However, I don’t believe that looking chic and edited requires you to have a boring wardrobe. My job is anything but traditional and that requires me to dress in many different ways. I mostly stick to trend-forward but office-friendly outfits like the one you see above, except maybe the high-slit skirt. Since I often get so many questions about chic workwear pieces, I wanted to share the only 5 items you need this fall.

Outfit 1: Ralph Lauren Blazer (affordable option) || Ralph Lauren Turtleneck (affordable option) || Slit Skirt || Ralph Lauren Wide Belt (affordable option) || Ralph Laurent Boots (affordable option) 

 

The Plaid Blazer is one of those forever pieces that you can throw on to look chic and polished in an instance. There are days when I’m wearing something as simple as a plain white t-shirt, but the minute I grab a blazer, I’m good to head out the door.

Turtleneck tops might sound basic but don’t undermine their power. They are the ultimate layering piece in the fall whether you’re pairing them with trousers, midi skirts, or throwing them under a dress. To make a blazer look interesting this fall, try a bright or neutral color and work it into a monochromatic outfit.

You guys know that I pretty much live in trousers all year long and that holds truer in the fall. To keep the trouser look not so basic, opt for new plaid prints or try a paper bag version that ties at the waist. I love that crop trousers look classic with pumps but edgy and modern with boots. It’s one of my favorite looks.

The midi skirt is what I wear when I need a look that goes from office to happy hour. I can quickly swap out pumps for a trendier sock bootie and it changes everything. Don’t shy away from fashion-forward prints like leopard or pairing your midi skirts with knee high boots! That’s one trend I’m looking forward to most.

I am so excited for the return of waist belts. From double-wrap styles to oversized buckles, they are the perfect way to pull your outfit together for fall. Try wearing your belt over a blazer or a duster coat for a cool, modern office look. It’s also a great way to break up prints or bold colors at the office.
